I found a distressed bee with shredded wings on the lid of my trash can and sprayed water in front of her which she drank. I saw she had a brown lump on the leg (3rd photo) We are having a heat wave and she would cook where she was so I put flowers down to entice her to step up so I could put her in a safer place. When she did the mite came off her leg and ran for it (you can see it coming off the leg and onto the trash can 4 th photo) They are so tiny these are the best photos I could get.
Hive with high mite infestation.
Flower border on ditch bank along organic apple block. Looking to see what kind of insect diversity happens there.
