Buyer beware becomes more and more of a catch phrase. There is (to
my knowledge) only one test program in the whole of North America for
T-mite resistance, and that is run by the Ontario Bee Breeders Assoc.
Any other claims without a proper, independant, test program is
pure conjecture. Breeding from survivors is not a proof of
resistance!!
While advertisers advise "Just in case, medicate".At the same time
claiming resistance defies description.
