There are only guesses as to why the organic hives are immune.



Not immune, apparently, not according to the article:

"No single beekeeping management method could be blamed. Large
commercial beekeepers were as likely to suffer from high losses as
were small operations or hobbyists. The symptoms affected stationary
beekeepers as well as migratory ones. Even some organic beekeepers
were affected."


But that ("even some") does seem to imply that organic beekeepers are less affected by the disorder.
