 My understanding of the Arnot bees is that they are "tolerant" due to
isolation and small colony/cavity size causing frequent swarms. Brought
into conventional management they show no "resistance".  Correct me if I am
mistaken.

I specifically asked Seeley what would happen if they were introduced into
an apiary where Varroa was present and he said they would die off. They are
not that tolerant.
