Tom Barrett raises an interesting point.  If resistant mites are not spread
just by natural advance and migratory beekeepers but also appears by natural
selection independantly  given time and selective pressure then it may be that
different mechanisms for resistance will appear, for instance by behavioral
traits rather than chemical adaptation.  What do the scientists think?
