 Varroa treatments do not affect SHB at all. Treating for one has no relation to treating the other.
 

I will mostly agree with Randall as long as we are assuming that your bees are healthy and strong without the need for varroa treatment.  In my opinion, a high varroa load weakens colonies and weak colonies are a sitting duck for SHB.
