Joe,
You indicate brood viability is now around 98% since 2007.  I'm interested in what you did with your feral stock to improve the brood viability, if anything?  I would expect hygienic stock to continue showing some spotty brood patterns unless they were vastly reducing the varroa load through other mechanisms. 
.
Another consideration to this situation would be the case of conincidal hygenic grooming working in conjunction with screened bottom boards as another mechanism to reduce the mite load.
