    Bees bred to have high levels of VSH can keep mite populations below thresholds recommended for Varroa treatment including miticides. [9] Queens from such VSH breeding sources can be allowed to mate freely with non-VSH drones, and the resulting hybrid colonies from these outcrosses will retain lower and variable but generally still useful resistance to V. destructor while retaining desirable ...
