1. Mites can live in the trachea of a bee. These mites obtain nutrients from bee tissue. Beekeepers worry when mite populations reach numbers that have the potential to destroy the entire bee colony. The relationship between bees and mites is

b) commensalism
c) parasitism
d) intraspecific competition

2. If the grizzly bear population is 0.4 bears / 200km^2, calculate the grizzly bear population in an area of 5000 km^2. Record number as an whole. ________________ grizzly bears

I have ruled out bots and mites. Could be a fly of some kind but I’m not sure, they look like itty bitty black and grey bees and they have brutalized her belly overnight! I put swat on them but what exactly are they? Shes perfect and I hate seeing her this miserable!

I need some information regarding a wild honeybee hive.?

Posted on January 27, 2013 | 2 Comments

I am not a beekeeper, but I have a wild honeybee hive in one of my trees. Today the bees swarmed and alighted in another of my trees in a big mass. All day I noticed a higher than normal amount of bees flying back and forth and all over the place on my property. After about 4 hours, the mass swarmed again and flew off. I went and checked the original tree with the hive and there seems to still be acitivity there with bees flying in and out of the hive. But I also saw many smaller, blondish, kind of fuzzy bees walking around on the ground by the hive. They did not appear to be sick, but they couldn’t seem to fly. So what happened? Was another queen born and the hive split up? I hope it doesn’t mean that the hive is sick. I did not seem to see any mites on the “fuzzy” bees on the ground.
