Because killing varroa with chemicals give 100% better honey yield. That sounds really bad, but lets say that varroa resistant hives do 50% less honey.
So even if they dont have varroa you treat them anyway for incresed honey crop? You dont want resistant bees but quote from all the papers about scientists who are try to irradicate varroa.
