Hmmm, must be derogatory.  Maybe you should tell the moderator what it means and have it removed.

I grew up in Randolph.......I certainly understand it.
Bought my first NUC April 7, 2016.
Like all you when you first started, I am fascinated with beginning Beekeeping and trying to learn all I can.
I retired May 2015 and have added this to my short list of hobbies.

In a normal environment, how would the mite be in a flower?

Drops off one bee, waits for the next ride.  Devious, these little devils

Not to be argumentative, but a mite on a nice warm bee body that is sucking the life off its host would have no reason to DROP OFF.  :)

By that logic, we would never have to worry about getting head lice. Why would lice leave the warm head of one person to go to another person of to wait on a piece of furnature. They never do that, right.

Remember also that pollen collected from flowers has been shown to be contaminated with deformed wing virus (http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0113448) and that the virus is infectious for honey bees ... it's not just mites that the bees potentially pick up when outside the hive.

As an aside ... lazy shooter ... how good is the evidence that phoretic mites on foraging bees are feeding? Perhaps they're just hitching a lift, either waiting for access to a late-stage larva or to be dropped off at a plant to then attach to the next visiting bee?

Interesting that there is another foraging bee that gets DWV virus.  Now it can spread from species to species by way of flowers.
