> Has someone done that experiment - taken only older bees  from a varroa
resistant queen, and added them to a sensitive hive, and shown varroa
resistance does not get passed down as a learned behavior?".

We do it every time that we pull a nuc from a resistant breeder to keep her
colony from swarming.  I haven't kept data on this, but could sure do so
this coming spring.
