>>From the looks of it, judging by advertising at least, mite resistance is becoming widespread in the stock offered for sale.

As you put together the list of resistant queen producers and breeders, it would be good to specify their degree of resistance (low, below average, average, above average, outstanding).  I have no evidence for undermining anyone's claims, but unless independently verified, these are just claims.

As a potential customer, I'd like to know if they use treatments or not.  I am not in the market but, if I were, I would only buy queens from producers who use zero treatments.  I've heard of a couple such producers.
