I have just gone to a bunch of trouble to introduce Russian Queens to Italian Hives - the jury is still out on what the final take rate is.
I would not have gone to the trouble if didn't want to see with my own eyes the Russian's ability to coexist with mites. I visited one of the yards last year of the person I got my queens from and his bees were not at all pissy.
