<<..who can find the vacant wild hives and how to repopulate them?>> I think you are out of luck finding vacant wild hives. If you reintroduce bees and they start making a comeback in the wild the swarms will find those old habitations and want to live there. Then you can follow them. How you protect them from the mites is much harder than the commercial operations though. I don't really think it is doable unless you can just erradicate the mites altogether or create a totally resistant strain of bees somehow and start over.
