According to at least one bee book there are occurrences of Varroa
reproducing in worker cells of cerana. David De Jong mentions it in the
section on mites he wrote for “Honey Bee Pests, Predators, & Diseases.  He
gives this reference: 1988. Varroa jacobsoni does reproduce in worker cells
of Apis cerana in South Korea. Apidologie 19: 103-106.

He also mentions serious damage by Varroa jacobsoni to some cerana being
reported from India in the past.

Dick Allen
