>>Varroa tolerant has always been queens which shut down brood rearing at 
times for various reasons and most are hygienic which reduces varroa 
population ( and bee population).

Are there any good bees in the US with grooming and mite-biting traits similar to cerana's?  Strong grooming traits may be more beneficial than hygienic behavior.  Mites are phoretic during broodless periods and could be drasticly reduced.
