• Biology and control of Varroa destructor. (2010, background): “A further strain of the so called ‘‘Russian” or ‘‘Primorski” bees from Far East Russia has been introduced to the United States and used as the starting point for a large breeding program (De Guzman et al. 2007; Rinderer et al., 2000, 2001, 2003; see Section 5.3).”
• Characteristics of honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera) in Sweden surviving Varroa destructor infestation (2011, background): “Breeding programmes, with efforts to produce mite-tolerant strains of European honey bee races, have had some success most notably with bees expressing the Varroa-sensitive hygiene trait (Harbo and Harris 2005; Ibrahim and Spivak 2006) and bees of the Russian-hybrid stock (Rinderer et al. 2001), yet”
