>> Did you bring new genetics into the program or did you work with the 
beekeepers' available material?
Yes, we have introduced Buckfast and Russian. Some breeders kept their own 
available stock to select from.

>> At what point would you be satisfied with eliminating treatments for 
varroa? It is a good question. I will be also interested to know of a 
stock does not require a chemical treatment. If you know one, please share 
with us. I left the program since 2000. for more information about the 
program check the following website
