All:
I have been advised that I have been mistaken in several of my recent
emails, and wish to correct these posts:
(1) There has been no published study showing an inherent resistance to
varroa in africanized honey bee colonies;
(2) There are no published reports showing africanization of any managed
colonies in Arizona.
         - If I have given any impressions to the contrary, I was wrong.

   - Links to several papers published by this lab are at the bottom of
this posting.
