Maybe this mite will wipe out all the bees including the Killer Bees....and if we safeguard the Good Bees for a few years,....then we can reintroduce them and .....how about that for a plan?

These mites (there are 2 mite species involved here) probably kill every last colony they just make beekeeping more difficult. Also there are very few areas of the world where the mites aren't already established in the local bee populations.
