As an introduction to natural varroa-resistance there is an excellent interview with Isobel Grindrod, University of Salford

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000yfkv 

Isobel gives a very clear explanation of the behavioural traits being used by honey bees to cope with the mites. 

Here is a transcript I’ve done (5 August 2021).

“Varroa Has Lost its Sting – Our Experience of Treatment Free Beekeeping”

Presentation given at Welsh Beekeepers’ Convention at the Royal Welsh Showground, Builth Wells on 30th March 2019 to an audience of approximately 165. This presentation is similar to that given at the BIBBA Confernce 2018, but differs in two main aspects:

  1. given from the ‘Our Experience’ rather than the ‘My Experience’ viewpoint to emphasise the Treatment Free (TF) approach being taken by many beekeepers as well as ourselves.
  2. includes updated data and map of TF Beekeepers in North-West Wales.

Following the presentation, I was joined by Joe and Chris Ibbertson for a lively Q&A session.
