Sounds like a replication of Harbo's work. Not to belittle the work of
anyone, you understand, but an 80% reduction in the breeder stock does
not necessarily produce mite-resistant queens in the field. Big
problem with the line-bred bees is lack of brood viability. You get
colonies without mites that can't build up.
