Breeding for mite tolerance

[mbc]

With 500€ price tag I don´t wonder...

Italy has been my main market area so far, Poland comes second.

No offence intended, and we'll done for achieving that price.
I have followed some of your posts in the tf section of beesource with interest.
It seems the bees aren't really what most would want and you still experience periodic crashes.
I'm in the same boat and I applaud your efforts and wish you continuing success.

It is worth noting that even a small amount of mite tolerance has a relatively large effect on survival of the colony. Juhani spent the time and money required to get his bees to the point they can survive multiple years sans treatments. More beekeepers should do the same.
