Bee mite. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a bee mite (Subclass Acari). These parasitic mites attach to the body of the bee and weaken it by sucking haemolymph, the insect's 'blood'. In doing this the mites can spread viruses to the bee. A significant mite infestation will lead to the death of a honey bee colony and may be a contributing factor to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).
