The subject has been discussed at length and I needed the correct 
terminology
when I did my article on the Russian bees years ago.

Varroa tolerant is correct.

Bees tolerate varroa . Varroa develops resistance to chemicals.

I only share because I was confused myself and wanted to be correct in my
Bee Culture article.

The above was what the research community told me years ago. Randy?
