OK, my 2 cents worth!  I only have a couple hives and don't quite understand 
why killing the entire hive is necessary.  Why isolate the hive-assuming 
that can be done, requeen and knock down the mites with whatever treatment 
used and let attrition take care of the less than acceptable bees.

This may be a naive approach but I can't see killing an entire hive because 
the queen's genes are not considered acceptable.
