A quick question for our collective academics. Are varroa mites a pest
specific to honey bees? I am installing an observation hive at a nature
center that specializes in raising butterflies. They asked if bee mites
will infest butterflies. I felt confident in saying no, but thought I would
seek your council to make sure my answer is correct. To me it would seem a
very unlikely happening. Was I correct?
