One factor might be that the colonies that cope with the mite, are 
resistant to disease, are good foragers and winter efficiently are 
likely also to be better at producing drones and thus pass on their 
helpful genes.  Of course, they are hindered by their keepers who may 
plunder their stores, place them too close to neighbours, use worker 
cell foundation and cull drone comb.
