Hello Everyone,

I am running SMR bees on small cell comb and have noticed an abundance of
bee damaged mites in the debris below a screened bottom board. At least
50% of the mites show obvious damage by bitten. I didn't look for missing
legs, etc. Other races are also damaging mites but to a lesser extent.

Has anyone seen damaged mites on your SMR bees?

Best Wishes
