Honey bees and the Varroa mite. How do the honey bees fight back? Another way they have is Varrora sensitive hygenic behavior. This is when they get rid of some of the reproductives mites from the larvae The bees have developed a system called Hygenic Behavior which is where they remove parasitized larvae from the broods What do the varroa mites do? The mites can also spread disease in the colony The varrora mites suck the blood of larval honey bees and adult honey bees How do bees find infected larva? Different proteins were used in signal transduction, helping the adults find infected larvae Protein in the antenna were associated with opening brood cells and extracting the larvae Bibliography: BioMed Central Limited.
