Hello All

I have recently come across the term Integrated Pest Management Theory,
which I understand relates to using different but complimentary methods to
control a pathogen.

I have searched the Web but all of the sites are specific to a particular
pest, which I daresay is the way it must be. I did not come across any
theory as applied to varroa.

What I am interested in is in any documentation which covers this theory in
respect of varroa jacobsoni. I have come across isolated statements such as
'you must not reduce the mite percentage below 99% as this may result in a
greater possibility of resistance'. What I am looking for is more of this
type of theory so that I can better study varroa, and how to cope with it.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Sincerely
