-We can testify whether their flights are close to ultima flight or not. And this is what we want to show in this experiment, whether these diseases actually do change one or all of these aspects, or perhaps none.

What we do know about Varroa might then is that it has killed billions of bees. We know it does spread viruses, but we don't yet know what the full fact of those viruses may be. And I don't think this is the whole picture. Not yet.
