Bee mite. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a bee mite on a bee. Some bee mite species feed by cutting into the surface membranes of the bee. Mites are arachnids (8-legged) and are hence related to ticks and spiders. In large numbers they can devastate colonies of bees,which is of particular concern since bees are often agriculturally very important: as both pollinators and honey producers | |
