From: "Bob Harrison" " A super mite has been running around California which
seems unaffected by every method of control tossed at it."

To save a rapid rise in beekeeper suicides :), could Bob clarify he meant
CHEMICAL controls.   The general belkied has been that mites will develop
resistance to orgamic acids only very slowly, if ever.  I just hope that is
still true.  IMHO we desperately need acids to bridge the time gap until
varroa-toerant bees have been bred in every area.
