Oldtimer, if you're talking about the bee I found, she's actually still alive, in a small exam cage. Makes a nice practice photo subject because she can't move around much. I can sometimes get her to accept a little honey, so the idea is to try a close-up of her feeding. Fat abdomen, no frass, no mites visible. She's actually gaining a little use of her hind legs. I did a sugar roll the previous day and that hive produced one mite in 300 bees. A follow-up sugar dusting produced no mites dropped. Their mite load is exceptionally low.
My understanding is that, out of 1500 bees a day, it is perfectly normal for a few of them to be defective. Possibly her cell was damaged during inspection, or just a random defect. As I catch up on chores, I intend to build corpse boards to place in front of the hives. Bayer uses them at their bee center to collect corpses for study. My goal is to learn autopsy methods.
Challenger, a lot of us call our bees "girls", and there's not a thing wrong with it.
