Thank you so much. I did know what to look for
You're welcome! We tried to keep it short
Great video and thank you for sharing 🐝🐝
Thanks! We do our best!
wow thank you for this.
You’re welcome! Hope it helped to identify them in your own hive!
This is super helpul!! You answered the questions that have been running through my head, thanks so much! Did not know they could be on the underbelly and then switch to on top of bees to hitch a ride to a cell to lay eggs. Good to know a male varoa is white and don't have to ask what it might be.
Really, I don't know why you don't have more subscribers and members, they are sure missing out on a lot of cool/diverse and important info!
Thank you! You’re so sweet to say that. The key point is how quickly they reproduce though, especially since the foundress (mother) mite can have up to six offspring!
@@RascalApiary Is there more than one type of mite?
@@tallcedars2310 Yes. There are also tracheal mites. Tracheal mites are microscopic and live in the bees’ respiratory system.
@@RascalApiary Will look them up as I have not heard of these type of mite. Mustn't be a big problem since they are not talked about. Everything has things that can affect them. Good to know how to keep a healthy hive for sure!
@@RascalApiary Actually, I was thinking mites would produce dozens of eggs at a time. Thankfully they only lay 6 per lifetime but their numbrs can increase pretty fast if not taken care of I imagine.
Oh, there's more sour than sweet in me actually, lol. For beekeepers your channel is new and exciting and wish more would join. One is never too old or too young to be on top of learning!
Thanks
You're welcome!
I have a question for a future video, can you see a varoa egg with the naked eye? Thanks!
The varroa eggs are laid under the brood cell capping, so you’d never see it without opening the brood. Good question though! I wouldn’t think so as the varroa are already pretty small in size, but we’ll have to see.
@@RascalApiary Looking forward to what you find
Devon Stack sent me hear
Thanks for checking us out
I have something all over my house and it is even on my head and other places what could this be. They are black tiny weird looking.
It’s more likely to be fleas. Varroa mites need hosts like bees to survive. Fleas are more apt to host on pets or ankles of humans.
