These are the three most recent studies that I’m aware of, to look at the
effect of small cell on varroa populations. I’ve read the studies and have
read many critiques examining the minute details of each. Remembering that
these are applied science studies i.e. conducted in a real world
environment as opposed to a highly controlled laboratory setting and as
such they are surely exposed to unintended variables. Having said that,
those who challenge the results of each based on its individual ‘flaws’
would, in my opinion, have us believe that those flaws, unique to each
study, somehow conspired to produce the same wrong conclusion in every
case.

I believe that if one looks at the body of evidence from the accumulated
data of the whole, the results are obvious. To deny it, in my opinion, is
to embrace an unreasonably high degree of ugly coincidence.
