Alan Teal said much the same thing in an Email to me a couple of years ago when I suggested the SBA mag was leading beekeepers up a blind alley by printing so many articles suggesting non treatment was a route to resistance.
He was SBA president at the time I think ? he gave me his formula for thymol treatment so I'm pretty sure he treated his own bees but still believed the principle of letting the bees die would lead somewhere eventually.

Things went from bad to worse with a certain contributor encouraging the release of swarms which once they were feral bees would breed resistance ????
How the -### is that supposed to work ??
You can't keep them alive in a protected environment but they are going to become super bees left to their own devices ?
