Isn't it a type of mite that carries a virus attacking the bees? So sad. I used to work for a pizza shop who added fresh honey to their dough making.

I read the other day the current estimate is the population is down 40+% now.

Thank you for being a beekeeper ! I worry about the plight of the bees and ALWAYS buy local honey and buy beeswax every chance I get for homemade lotion bars and candles .
