Seems like I have been posting too much lately, so I stayed out of this one, till now. So, folks think the decline in tracheal mites is due to tracheal resistant bees? What proof do we have of that? Could be they are no longer a problem for entirely other reasons. I can think of many things that could cause a particular pest to decline, what makes you think it's resistant bees and nothing else?
