Hello All,

 Destructor is significantly larger body size than jacobsoni, and not so
round.  The two cannot interbreed.
Although Varroa Destructor and varroa jacobsoni can't interbreed I
 am told the Korean/Russian haplotype and the Japan/Thailand haplotype of
varroa destructor can breed so one has to wonder what type of offspring
might be produced.  I guess we will found out.
I am also told that since varroa destructor jumped from cerana to meliferia
when put back with cerana again varroa destructor can't reproduce.  Could
this be a clue to unlocking a weakness in varroa destructor reproduction?
