> We have found wild beehives, including abandoned beehives, which are fairly mite resistant. It seems that some Apis Cerana (Japonica?) are fairly mite-resistant; they bite and kill the mites (except for those within the drone cells, as far as I read). This, could be combined also with rising the hive temperature along two hours to temperatures able to kill the mites, included the ones within the cells. PS: I have only read a little about the matter.
