from  the U.K. with the researchers continuing the work of Bailey they
believe  bees can survive varroa if it were not for the viral infections but
how do  we cure the viral infections?

My statement above is taken out of text.

Although I appreciate the work of Bailey and research being done in the U.K.
I see no cure for viral infections in honey bees and I hope my post reflects
my position.

The "take these pills and if not better call the beekeeper in the morning "
was a joke!

Maybe a researcher working with viruses or fungi might find the varroa
solution but I am putting my money on a strain of bee which is varroa
tolerant or a bee with the SMR trait.

I will do whatever it takes to survive until such a bee is bred including
the use of the dreaded *hard chemical* fluvalinate.
