New Bee
Well ...
I just think that nature will either eventually strike a balance or they will die out - Darwin rules.

So ... who has got it right ? It might take a few generations but the future of beekeeping has to be a return to less chemical interference ... IMO. Tin hat on ...
I hope so, because we sure as hell aren't solving the problem by breeding mites from survivor stock whilst destroying most of the other useful micro organisms within the hive.
But then again - just like everyone else, I don't have the answer and the Survival of the Fittest solution, although logical and undisputable is not something I imagine we (I) would have the resolve to see through.
For now I treat as necessary, and certainly would do as recommended in this case.
