Organic beekeeping methods include:
* Letting the bees build the comb themselves instead of giving them "foundation" (wax with the honeycomb imprinted onto it that they then extrude), which let's them build comb cells that are smaller in size and thus allow faster capping of the brood larva, allowing less time for mites to infest them

* Breeding hygienic bees that clean mites off themselves and each other and then using screened bottom boards so the mites fall to the ground and can't get back onto the bees.

* Avoiding antibiotics and chemicals (often used for mite control)

* Not messing with the bees overmuch (beekeepers have a zillion different ways of "stopping the bees from swarming" or forcing them to make more honey or otherwise trying to thwart whatever it is they are doing that beekeepers don't want them to do)

The evidence so far is anecdotal as it is so early in the investigation of the disorder, but this organic beekeeping movement has been going on for some decades and the most prominent organic beekeepers have not been hit by this disorder.

We will see what develops!
