IT WAS A MITE THAT KILLED THE BEES? "A Hardier Honeybee That Fights Back By Biting Back"

"The bees will take the mite and they will bite the
legs and will chew on the mite," Berta says. "And if
they bite a leg off of the mite, the mite will bleed to
death. So the bees are actually fighting back. That's
the type of genetic line we're after right now.".."
