The are of brevity - totally lost on me I'm afraid
If you (no one in particular and not Dishmop in particular) believe that you live in a varroa free area and don't treat for varroa, your bees will likely die. Given that we are talking about the UK then they will probably die from a varroa overload.
Delusion doesn't actually alter the fact that varroa is pretty much endemic.
Notice the continual flow of scientific reports over the years that variously say that coffee, tea and red wine etc. are good for you, bad for you and so on, ad infinitum as reported in the news at least twice every year for the last twenty plus years.
I'm sure that in remote wooded parts of Finland there are isolated communities which are believed to be varroa free and virgins are so because they can out fly their uncles and brothers, much like parts of the fens.
If you aren't given an answer to a question you ask, please just accept that it may be because the person that you ask the question of doesn't feel obliged to provide you with one. That may be for perhaps one of multiple reasons which you may or may not be aware of, may or may not be able to deduce and could just be because it is all too much trouble.
I probably won't be answering any questions on this thread, and it may or may not be personal or it might just be that I can't really be arsed and have so many other things to be getting on with.
I hope that this helps with the understanding and that getting bent out of shape when there are other things to do in life isn't really much of an option. Raise more bees and take away all that vain time in your lives . . .
