All this begs the question of why then do we get glowing reports of small
cell working? I did have my own trial and it mirrors the research with dead
bees. Small cell does not work.

My guess it we are looking at AHB in the areas that it seems to work or
tolerant bees, since that seems to be the emerging bee from Varroa pressure.
It has nothing to do with the cell size and all to do with what we have been
saying all along, you have your choice of changing the bee or changing the
mite.

There actually may be a little of both.
