I keep asking myself if there are countries without that bastard named varroa?

Australia has no varroa.
Most areas of Africa, I suppose. (Africa is 3 times size that of Europe)

There are distant corners in many countries where varroa has not yeat spreaded.

In Norway there are big regions without mite.

In north Finland there are beekeepers which have had never mites.

Sout west arhipelago of Ahvenanmaa has succeeded to destroy all hives which got varroa. It has been clean.

I heard that Gotland, the isle of south Sweden has no varroa. I am not sure.

Archipelago of Ahvenanmaa between Sweden and Finland is a good fishing recreation area

I have done some checking and the only country which the sites agree on is Australia.

I was wondering about Iceland and Greenland but they are not mentioned.

Scutellator from Bulgaria says that they have so much varroa resistant hives that I could not count them if I were there. ( he did not know that I have calculator in my phone)-

What about in Romania? Have you natural resistancy in practical beekeeping level?
