Dear Bee-Liners,
Have any of you heard about the virus carried by the Varroa mite?  There i
s evidence suggesting that the so-called resistance of some honey bees such as
African bees to Varroa may relate to whether or not the mite populations associ
ated with them have the virus or not.  If anyone is interested, I can provide s
ome references to this work.
