The problem with small cell is that when controlled experiments are
conducted, it fails, but anecdotal evidence shows success.

My conclusion in all this has always been that it is not the cell but the
bee. If you keep trying long enought (think regression) you eventually end
up not selecting a small cell bee but a Varroa resistant bee. They are not
AHB, but AHB figures prominantly with some small cell proponents- again, it
is the bee, not the size of the cell.
