"They could certainly pile into a brood cell. But that pupa would then die. Unless the bees had strong hygienic behavior and quickly uncapped that cell, the mites would also die inside. In any case, they would be unsuccessful at reproduction."


Too many assumptions here. What information do you have, Randy, to suggest that multiple foundress mites cause the host pupa to die?
