One of the major problems facing the beekeeping industry in Saudi Arabia is the infestation of honeybee colonies with parasitic mite Varraa destructor. Bee breeders strive to reduce exposure of bees to pesticides by developing stocks of bees that resist the mites. The goal of this study was to investigate the genetic variability of eleven colonies representing three honeybee races namely: Apis mellifera yementica (Indigenous) tolerant to mites, Apis mellifera carnica (Carniolan) sensitive to mites and hybrids between Indigenous and Carniolan moderately tolerant.
