I disagree and reiterate.  You test for one criteria
at a time, cell size and varroa effects.  When you get
the data for that, then you test and obtain the data
of cell size and chalk brood.  Then you further test
to see the effects of varroa and chalk brood combined
on celll size and see if that data has a positive
relationship with the combined data of the previous
two tests.  The scientific method requires the
utilization of only one variable at a time in proving
a hypothesis "Cell size directly affects the
tollerance of honey bees to varroa".
