Hi Paul!
 
Reg. Varroa
 
There are several very good texts available on the subject of Vrroa, that
cover many topics; from basic biology, techniques for determining presence,
control measures etc to case studies on living with Varroa.
 
One such text is called "The New Vrroa Handbook".  Athough some of the
information reg. the biology is slightly outdated, it is quite a good
introduction to the subject.  I believe the book is about #10 in the U.K
 
You can obtain a copy from Jeremy Berbidge at Northern Bee Books

you would reccommend let me know.
