Re. Varroa lifecycle - Adony Melathopoulos CAPA's booklet 'Honey Bee Diseases and Pests' is still available in limited quantities. Check with W.T. Kelly, Datant & Sons, or local bee supplier. If not, I still have a limited supply left. Contact me directly. A new edition is expected to be published in the next few months.
