[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 824769, member: 6198"] Well, like beating a dead horse. Others are trying but hard going. Thanks for all the replies. Beekeepers are a different breed that is for sure Jo, the diarrhea in question is probably dysentry caused by a spore called Nosema. Noseam Apis or Nosema Ceranea. It effects the gut, they go off their feed, can weaken and die. Sometimes adding pollen patties or syrup in itself will help to clear it up. But, there is a product called fumigian-B. Mixed with syrup fumigilan B will clear it up. The major problem is if one waits too long to assist it can take down a colony or weaken it allowing the varroa destructor mite to gain a serious foot hold causing more problems. Its it the same as in calves with primary and secondary infections. Most put it in the syrup in a pail and invert on the hive. This is only done once in the spring (1 gallon) and in the fall (2.5 Gallons). If the dysentry is bad enough, they will not take the feed so we need to drench them. So unlike drenching a calf :) When we drench the hive, basically it is pouring a specific amount (70 cc approx) on them once weak for 4 weeks (labour intensive with 100 or more hives). I used my mother inlaws turkey baster....works slick. Don't have to open the hive, stick the baster in the top entrance and squirt. I have used brand new ivermec guns, but it is hard on the hands because syrup is thick. Hope the info helps [/QUOTE]
