Beekeepers will know wdiether this is true for other seasons of the year. The excrement of Nosema-in- fected bees, falling into a body of water, contaminates it with germs and makes it a fruitful source of in- fection. This is true since the para- site remains alive for a considerable period in water. Should the body of water be a rapidly moving one, the chances for infection would be very much reduced. It will be readily seen also that the chances for infection would rapidly diminish as the dis- tance of the water supply from the apiary increased.
