Hi
I have seen hundreds of combs like this. I am not persuaded by the photo caption that the varroa is feeding. To me, it looks dead, like many I have seen. On the other hand, reputable sources state that "mites feed on larvae, pupae and adults, consume the brood food and so destroy a colony." I don't see that as debatable.
