Not correct to my understanding, and somewhat out of date information. I do suggest looking at the natural beekeeping literature, for example : https://www.naturalbeekeepingtrust.org/natural-bee-husbandry https://www.naturalbeekeepingtrust.org/natural-bee-husbandry this source frequently documents populations of wild/feral, multi-year, mite resistant, hives. And also - there are plenty of beekeepers around, including myself, with multi-year treatment free hives of bees. However, mite resistant bees in commercial style un-insulated frame based langstroth hives - not so much.
