I culled some drone comb from one of my hives. Approximately 500 drone cells, with around 1500 mites culled.

Filmed with an iphone with a clip on lens.

That music just made the video extremely creepy. Really took it to the next level.

Excellent choice!

Here is another excellent video. It is on one way bees can build up an sort of immunity to the verroa mites.
