>>we found that the use of small cell foundation did not significantly affect cm(2) total brood, total mites per 
colony, mites per brood cell, or mites per adult bee, but did affect adult bee population for two sampling months.

There is seems to be insufficient info here.  Was the adult bee population greater than in the controls?  I am neutral on the small cell effectiveness - I have watched interest the work by Dee and Dennis Murrel though - but seems to me 2 months is quite a short period to tell anything of absolute consequence that would warrant recommendations one way or the other.  Is the trial still going on?
