Do you think I should start regressing this hive?

Opposite strategies often work.  If you could get the bees just little bigger the Varroa would be so small in comparison they would no longer be an issue...

I might have to give them my house as a hive, but think of how much honey they could bring back each trip, maybe I could train each bee to put it right into the 1 lb jar LOL
