Christina: Personally I doubt that they had a wide range of mite loads when the experiment was set up.
 
That's a sweeping assumption.  If they started from packages, maybe.  If not, I've seldom seen hives that didn't have a few outliers.   Our own 53 from this summer, mostly started from packages and varroa free, still had a couple  of outliers with mites.  So we treated everything before the trial and  at end of summer, when again we found a few showing evidence of mites.  If we hadn't, any bets would be off in terms of reliable  data concerning over-wintering  survival.
