Low sperm counts and reduced fecundity of mites in colonies of honey bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) resistant to Varroa jacobsoni (Mesostigmata: Varroidae)

A breeding program for honey bees, Apis mellifera L., resistant to varroa mites, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans, selected for bees that maintain low populations of mites with decreased reproduction. This study examines the causes for this suppressed mite reproduction. Nonreproductive mites were classifie...
