I think we all understand that the request is to define definitive
SCIENTIFIC experiment that would resolve the question, not a demo
in an unusual location with much of the important data concealed
from scrutiny, and what may be the most significant factor -- AHB --
being denied or ignored.  There is nothing scientific about that.

lab at Yale shows best digestive gut bacteria for good health......
.....and also, no varrtoa problems, no trachael mite problems, no
nosema problems that could not be bred thru that tried, .........
no SHB problems

That is an accomplishment, if true, but is it worth the cost?

Does it have any real world value?  Is such an operation sustainable
without outside support financially and in other resources and
can it accomplish the tasks we demand of commercial bees?  Those
questions need to be examined.

For one thing, I doubt your bee stock could be kept the way you do
it many places where bees are needed to pollinate.

And the operation has shrunk from ?? hives doing pollination and
making money to ?? hives consuming resources to run.

That does not look sustainable to me or, I suspect, any objective
observer,
