Introduction of Varroa destructor has not altered honey bee queen mating success in the Hawaiian archipelago
Abstract Beekeepers struggle to minimize the mortality of their colonies as a consequence of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor in order to maintain a sustainable managed pollinator population. However, little is known about how varroa mites might diminish local populations of honey bee males (dro...
