I constantly inundate my coworkers with bee facts and experiences. I think they really despise the honeybee now just because they're tired of me talking about it. In all seriousness though, they have a lot of questions. I figured that since they have questions, when I have an opportunity I'll bring in something to stir their interest.
This morning I brought in a weak and starved worker bee who unfortunatly had been used as a host for a varroa when she was developing. Needless to say she is small and had the deformed wing virus. I brought this gal in to show the guys what happens when these mites have their way with a population. They were amazed. Been getting questions all day.
