Hello Adrian,
Is the below reference found in the abstract available
for reading?
ABSTRACT:
Wenner, A.M. and R.W. Thorp. 2002. Collapse and
resurgence of feral colonies after Varroa arrival.
"Some individuals have now begun to exploit the
potential that feral colonies provide. (By feral, I
include managed colonies in remote areas that have had
no treatment against varroa mites.)"
Reply:
This has been where I am focusing lately. What does
this suggest that bees are recovering in remote areas
so well? Any ongoing research in this area?
Best Wishes,
