Looking through the Bee-L archives for 1993, I noticed two (at least)
interesting points that may have been dealt with in later years, but I
have not seen the replies.
1) In May '93, USDA recommended three breeders to propogate the
Yugoslavian bee in the hope of  breeding a varroa resistant strain.
2) Around the same time, some one had supposedly found a cure for AFB
and EFB based on the fungus ascosphera apis that causes chalk brood.
 
Could someone bring me up to date, or are these two more good ideas that
have fallen by the wayside?
