Abstract

Honey bees from the Primorsky region of far-eastern Russia were evaluated for their resistance to Acarapis woodi. Results from a field test in Louisiana showed that Primorsky honey bees showed strong re- sistance to tracheal mites. The Primorsky honey bees maintained nearly mite-free colonies throughout the ex- periment while the domestic stocks were ultimately parasitized by high levels of tracheal mites.
