Since there are no feral bees in Alaska (with the possible exception of the
southeast - "panhandle," I don't know of that area - I have been reluctant to speak
up. I have not been so reluctant locally. I do believe, and have since I first
heard of the mites, that in any population there are varying degrees of
suceptibility to almost everything. I predicted back then that given a few years
that mites would be a minor irritant rather than a problem within a few years. Now
that seems to be coming about.
If I could get true feral bees I would collect all I could get and give them NO
medication whatsoever. Let those suceptible die out and make splits from the
survivors.
