>>> I decided to break out the dissecting microscope to do a little close-up work. I liked Bill's description of the feeding position of mites (I had not heard/read this before), and decided to go looking for an example.<><><> So.... What were your findings? Did it seem to you that mites were feeding in the dorsal area of the abdomen of the bees you inspected?
