   I've seen a lot of bees very heavily infested with tracheal mites, but
   not dented. The mites enter the tracheal system (a prominent part, but
   not large volume of the thorax) after the thoracic exoskeleton has been
   formed. None of this precludes the explanation, but I think some effect
   on the developing pupae is more likely.
