In theory ...
- killing the colonies selects against virulent strains of bug and/or susceptible bees
- shook swarming doesn't select for or against resistant bees but might select for virulent bugs
In reality ...
The bugs are under constant selection for virulence anyway. Selecting against susceptible bees may be the strongest effect (in addition to removing inoculum of course).
