A quick question for our collective academics.  Are varroa mites a pest
specific to honey bees?  I am installing an observation hive at a nature
center that specializes in raising butterflies.  They asked if bee mites
will infest butterflies.  I felt confident in saying no, but thought I would
seek your council to make sure my answer is correct.  To me it would seem a
very unlikely happening.  Was I correct?
