Not only can you not prove that there is such a thing
as "regression" as you describe it, you can't prove
that any lowering of mite count is caused by
regression, instead of the other key factors: climate
and the presence of African Bees.

Reply:
Environment is 1/3, Diet is 1/3, breeding is 1/3. Climate
goes hand in hand with environment which goes hand in hand
with cell size, which in turn then determines diet and
breeding parameters, of which in breeding, a yellow bee is
still a yellow bee, and a black/brown bee is still a
black/brown bee, except by man/s naming.

We live in a whole world with everything interdependent.
Always have and always will. It's about time we lived with
a whole-bee concept too in our field work also with
honeybees.
