SHORT VIDEO OF ANKLE BITER BEE IN ACTION

Earlier this month I posted an article about "ankle biter" bees being raised by Purdue University.  This link provides a short video showing these bees in action against a varroa mite.  Wow!  I think I may try to get a breeder queen from this stock.   I wonder if the ECWBA might sponsor the purchase?
