>If varroa is the most likely culprit, should we not focus much more
research and development on stricter mite control and rather than
campaigning on pesticides and reduced nutrition? 

>Or is that too simple?

Yes, too simple.  This should not be an either/or.  All are equally
important: no point in having clean bees (i.e. mite and virus free) if they
are to be damaged by pesticides or unable to find sufficient forage.
