The mites reproduce under the brood cap and feed on the developing larvae. When the new bee emerges from its cell, mites emerge with it and transfer to other brood cells. Due to the exponential nature of Varroa reproduction, colony infestation levels can quickly get out of control. Viruses accumulate in the colony.  Higher Varroa levels further weaken the bees rendering them unable to survive. Note: Most mites are hidden from our view, so don't depend on looking at bees on frames to assess mites. It is imperative to control your mite levels to ensure the health of your hive and their survival through winter. Weight:9.0 LBS Width:14.0 (in) Height:10.0 (in) Depth:6.0 (in)
