Description
The data set was collected in Uppsala Sweden between 2019 and 2021. Hives were established using varroa resistant queens from Oslo, Norway (n = 3), Gotland Sweden, (n = 5), and Avignon, France (n = 4), with a varroa susceptible population from Uppsala, Sweden (n = 5) as control. All hives were located at the SLU Lövsta research station (GPS Coordinates: 59° 50’ 2.544”N, 17° 48’ 47.447”E). Varroa destructor mite reproductive success was measured on frames with adult honeybee workers exposed to, and excluded from access to honeybee larvae. Excluders were added directly after brood capping, and frames were dissected nine days later. Cell caps were removed using a scalpel with the pupae and mite families carefully removed from the cell using forceps and a fine paint brush. Mite reproductive success calculated by counting successful reproduction attempts, which was defined as a mite that successfully produced one male, and at least one female offspring. If a mite did not meet this requirement, it was considered a failed reproduction attempt and the reason for failure was documented. All data was an
