Years ago Iwas trying to make slides of infected and uninfected tracheae for
demonstartion purposes. The infected ones were easy to find and then I
carefully dissected out a trachea from a bee which under the disecting
microscope (X20) seemed clear. When this was mounted with glycerine jelly
and examined under X40 in a compound microscope mites were  seen clearly in
the the trachea and one had escaped and was outside the tube.

<.  I was astonished at the numbers of tracheal mites that are in tubes that
aren't otherwise "cloudy", "spotted brown", or "black".  This observation
isn't in the manuals, so some might find it interesting.>
