Abstract: The global spread of Varroa destructor,one of the most destructive apicultural pests,has brought hugechallenges to beekeeping. Consequently,research on the tolerance mechanisms and breeding of Varroa tolerant honey beeshas become particularly important. Mastering tolerance mechanisms has become a prerequisite for the successful cultivationof honey bees. This review summarizes major advances in research on behavioral,physiological and molecular tolerance mechanisms toVarroa destructor It is particularly important to study tolerance mechanisms at the molecular level as this can provide a genetic basis for cultivating tolerant breeds bees with the help of marker-assisted selection and advanced modern bio-engineering technologies,in combination with conventional breeding methods.
