There was a fairly solid discussion recently (this calendar year, if
my memory isn't completely erased by breathing toxin-laden dust
earlier this week) on SANET of varroa mite in bees. Also, APIS
magazine used to be posted to the group, and I seem to recall a
varroa discussion a couple years ago as well.
Search the SANET archives on the term "varroa."
Last time I did this I got about 75 hits.
Good luck.
