Bumble bee mites
I found a large sodden bumble bee struggling in the pond, fished it out and put it in the sun to dry off. As it dried it kept wiping itself with its middle legs; then I realised it was trying in vain to rub off small live mites; it had a dozen or more crawling around on its back. Are these varroa? Or do bumble bees get different mites? Janet |
