I saw something unusual in one of my hives this morning -- a worker bee with "fuzz" on the back of its thorax.  It was slightly greenish in color, and looked like mold or fungus.  It didn't look right so I flicked it off the frame out of the hive.  I didn't see it anywhere else.

Does anybody know what this might have been?  My reseach on-line doesn't reveal anything.

Sounds like a bee that has just emerged from the cell.  Newly hatched bees often have a fuzzy yellowish or greenish tinge to them.  It's normal.

Okey dokey.  I didn't know; just hadn't seen it like that before.
