For instance, take a bee yard with 25 hives, if say 5 hives are choosen to be natural, are their chances of survival lessened by being in close proximity to bees that are being treated.No because the ones being treated should have less mites by being treated.All hives will have some mites.Keep your hives strong,60,000 bees you will have no CCD,keep a strong laying queen.Weak queen,weak hive. Or is there some other issue with mixing treated and natural hives?NO
