Cure for honeybee colony collapse?

For the first time, scientists have isolated the parasite Nosema ceranae (Microsporidia) from professional apiaries suffering from honeybee colony depopulation syndrome. They then went on to treat the infection with complete success, according to an April 14 announcement. In a study published in the new journal from the Society for Applied Microbiology, Environmental Microbiology Reports, scientists from Spain analyzed two apiaries and found evidence of honeybee colony depopulation syndrome (known as colony collapse disorder in the U.S.). They found no evidence of any other cause of the disease (such as the Varroa destructor, Israeli acute paralysis virus or pesticides) other than infection with N. ceranae. The researchers then treated the infected surviving under-populated colonies with the antibiotic drug flumagillin and demonstrated complete recovery of all infected colonies...Feedstuffs
