Summary
| Description |
Varroa destructor!!!!! Here you have a honey bee and two mites upon that honey bee. Both are varroa mites, one by the leg is feeding on the bee and the other is hitching a ride after leaving another bee. This drama was provided by Krisztina Christmon at the University of Maryland where she studies the life history of mites and bees. We did a little back lit shot here, more to come. 23:43, 12 February 2020 (UTC)23:43, 12 February 2020 (UTC){{{{{{0}}}}}}23:43, 12 February 2020 (UTC)23:43, 12 February 2020 (UTC) All photographs are public domain, feel free to download and use as you wish.
We Are Made One with What We Touch and See We are resolved into the supreme air, We are made one with what we touch and see, With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair, With our young lives each spring impassioned tree Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change. - Oscar Wilde
