>>> I have been seeing a good deal of brood being uncapped in the white, purple eyed pupa stage but was not aware of what it meant or what was happening. <><><> Upon further reflection, if this uncapping and recapping is a result of a hygienic behavior, what is the result of the uncapping of the cell upon the mite(s) that might be infesting the larva(e) that is being uncapped?
