✨𝚅𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙾𝙰 𝙼𝙸𝚃𝙴✨Varroa mites (Varroa destructor) is an ectoparasite of Apis mellifera-or-the European Honey bee. These tiny vampires of the beekeeping world don’t just hitch a ride — they suck the life (and fat bodies) right out of your bees while spreading viruses like they’re handing out party favors. If you’re not monitoring and treating (as needed), congratulations… you’re basically running an all-you-can-eat buffet for parasites. | Nooga Honey Pot
