Old story. We had mites maybe 10 years ago. There are 2 types; tracheal and varroa? Both are imports. They were looking for immune varieties back then. Some, Chinese, pull mites off of each other. Other varieties have resistance, too. I haven't thought about this stuff in a while, but I think some Yugoslavian varieties are resistant. Anyway about 10 years ago, the wild bees had been pretty much wiped out by mites. They have come back nicely, probably feral bees from swarming domestics. Dealing with mites is only one of the reasons why honey cannot be "organic". Another is that you never know where the bee goes. One hopeful sign; when the honey bees went into decline, I started seeing lots more bumble bees. Rat
