The alternatives include restocking with bees from other regions like
Australia, which may not have any resistance to our problems; or making
splits and requeening with commercially available resistant stock. 

The other plan, Adee's plan, is to use survivors and it's a good idea -- if
any survive. The problem is, did they survive because they were more
vigorous, or are they just lucky?
