I am looking at the possibility of bumble bees vectoring varroa. I seem to
recall that I have read somewhere that varroa has been found in bumble bee
nests but cannot find the reference. I can find plenty of references to
varroa not affecting bumble bees. A different story with the viruses
vectored by varroa e.g. DWV
Does anyone have references to varroa being found in bumble bee nests or
even on bumble bees themselves?
