>Do the Apis cerana beekeepers in other parts of the world ever find it
necessary to use treatments for varroa (or tropilaelaps ) mites?
In S India (several years ago) they did not treat cerana for anything.
Some mellifera were treated with sulphur power for tropilaelaps, but none that I saw were treated for varroa as, even though numbers were extremely high, there was no DWV present and the bees seemed unaffected.
