>>>  I've been doing that <incorporating outside genetics for 10 years with little/no success.
<><><>   Have you been using the imported queens as queen mothers or have you been using them as drone mothers?   I'm wondering if there might not bee a significant difference.  My thoughts are that using the imported queens as drone sources and my own queens as the source for new queens I might incorporate several different lines (partially) into each new colony and thus have a variety of workers within the colony that attack the varroa problem in different ways.  Thoughts about this are appreciated.
