• The influence of genetic origin and its interaction with environmental effects on the survival of Apis mellifera L. colonies in Europe (2014, background): “Observations about local strains of honey bees that are apparently less affected by losses and have better strategies to cope with varroa have been reported from different regions (Fries et al., 2006; Le Conte et al., 2007).”
• Varroa destructor: research avenues towards sustainable control (2012, background): “Without treatment, a colony of A. mellifera infested with V. destructor dies within one to three years (Korpela et al., 1993; Fries et al., 2006), whereas A. cerana colonies are able to survive infestation by varroa mites without apparent damage.”
• Characteristics of honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera) in Sweden surviving Varroa destructor infestation (2011, background): “There have been reports on populations of European honey bee races surviving mite infestation for long periods without mite control treatment (De Jong and Soares 1997; Kefuss et al. 2004; Fries et al. 2006; Le Conte et al. 2007; Seeley 2007), however little has been described concerning their tolera”
• Biology and control of Varroa destructor. (2010, background): “After a dramatic decline within the first 3 years, a small honey bee population became established which has survived without any treatment (Fries et al., 2003, 2006).”
