✨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.
