wtiger. Doesn't that just make ya feel sick. That poor little bee. I have seen how fast the varroa mite crawls when I did a sugar dusting and there were a couple alive on the board. I picked it up and put it on a piece of white paper to watch it, and yes, no wonder they can get around all over the bees body to avoid being brushed off. Downright nasty little critters. Have a wonderful day, best of this life. Cindi
