I wonder if readers of this list are aware of the review of literature
relating to bee mites, written by Diana Sammataro, et.al., and published
in a recent issue of the Annual Review of Entomology (Annu. Rev.
Entomol. 2000. 45:519-548).   This is an extremely comprehensive
article, and I recommend it highly to anyone wishing to be informed of
the latest information on these pests of the honey bee.  It can be
accessed in its entirety at:
