In response to these postings,
You do not have to breed a resistant strain,All you need a clean
hive and foundation, hatching brrod and a new queen from a Varroa free
supplier and exclude all the older field bees from these hive , by placing
it on a new isolated site, thi can be successful in at least 90% of any attempt.
Mite infection can not be controlled by immuniological or toxicological
genetic controll.
