Bill said "One other possibility, and this is pure conjecture, is with all our
Varroa mite treatments like Apistan and Cumophose, that also kill
Tracheal (so does Formic Acid- have no idea about Oxalic), we may have
bred a resistant Tracheal mite as well as resistant Varroa."

it is my understanding that Apistan and Coumaphous DO NOT kill mites
inside the trachea, but both Oxalic and Formic do.

Is that right?
