Great points, Pete, but I would still guess the implication that there are
likely genes that could be tweaked or adapted.
I wasn't thinking when I mentioned scutellata--it's the ancestor of AHB in
th eAmerica's, not the EHB's in Europe--thanks!
I saw a map recently on the distribution of varroa in Africa, but can't
locate it.
I'm wondering what the tolerance for varroa is among the various African
races of bees.
