Sorry about the last submission.  It was sent by mistake.

In referrence to the words tolerant and resistant.  Tolerant means that the
varroa mite can be present in the colony population but the colony is
successful anyway.  Resistant means that the colony has developed a method
of irradicating the varroa mite from the colony population.  Therefor the
way the two words as used in the two articles of AUG, 2000 issue of ABJ are
mutually compatible.
