> Those attempting to breed for resistance need to manage an entire
*breeding
population*, not just some queen bloodlines.

A good example of this is the University of Guelph 'Low Varroa Growth'
program whereby:

*'The *[selected]* queens produced were allowed to open mate at a common
mating yard isolated at least 5 km from other apiaries.'*
