Thankyou for submitting the information!

I understand that you cannot reprint a large portion of the document, or main content material due to copyright laws.  But the excerpts selected for the post did not express that breeding was discussed in anyway shape or form.  I thought it would be good for readers to know and not assume that breeding was discussed, hence, why I asked the question.

With so many experts over the years stating that 'breeding of Varroa tolerant bees is considered to be the only long-term solution of the Varroa problem.'  I also fail to see why we are still discussing other alternatives.
