Nosema Disease

We did this lab in class, though we didn't find any Nosema, it was really interesting to see the bees up close. And seeing the stingers was also really interesting though the smell of the smashed up bee was really gross. Earlier I read what Nosema was and I am interested to see is this article has anymore information that was not stated in the other article. An interesting fact that I learned was that it only affects adult bees. I would like to know why that is.I would also like to know why workers are more susceptible. Is it because it really is like the stomach flu and it is received more easily outside the home, like at school? This disease is very gross and it sounds painful. Because this article was more of a lab format it lacked in some information and it had unnecessary information, like how to use the microscope. It is fairly easy to see if your hive is infected because there will be diarrhea outside the hive. There are cures for this disease but they ruin your honey supply, but then of course so does diarrhea and dead bees.
