The subject has been discussed at length and I needed the correct
terminology
when I did my article on the Russian bees years ago.
Varroa tolerant is correct.
Bees tolerate varroa . Varroa develops resistance to chemicals.
I only share because I was confused myself and wanted to be correct in my
Bee Culture article.
The above was what the research community told me years ago. Randy?
