Problems with tracheal mites as well as other diseases can certainly be  
seen as symptoms of a weakened constitution, the same sort of holistic  
perspective we apply to human illnesses. In fact some observers of  
commercial beekeeping practices predicted as early as the 1920s the demise  
of honeybees that has occurred in the last 15 years. All bees, including  
wild ones, have most definitely been affected by big Ag. with it's  
pesticides and the overall degradation of their environment. Its  likely  
that the phenomenon of swarming has gradually affected wild bee genetics  
as well.  By the time mites showed up, the bees were already struggling  
and thus less able to develop defenses.  Of course, conventional  
beekeeping as taught at the agricultural extension services virtually  
refuses to recognize environmental sources of harm, much less that any of  
the methods they promote might be detrimental.
