But if those outliers were allowed to crash, a proportion of their mites could be quickly dispersed by robbing.



With all due respect,  I totally disagree with this theory.....Had several like you describe,  and they stayed stable.



A question arises here  could you/ would you be willing to test that theory??

I admit I have no real thoughts on how,  other than take say 3 good and one bad and isolate them,  then remove the queen maybe???



I would bet that you would see no noticible increase in the low count hives,  even placed on the same pallet.
