Bee Mite ID can be used to:

• identify adult and immature mites found on or in bees or their nests;
• distinguish harmful mites from non-harmful mites;
• narrow down possibilities of bee-associated mites based on bee genus names;
• learn about mite morphology, mite life stages and sex differences, bee morphology, and relevant terminology;
• view images of 90 mite taxa, including micrographs of slide-mounted specimens, images indicating diagnostic features, and images of mites on or within bees’ bodies; and
• access information about bee hosts, including the biology of bee-mite associations and the characteristics of mite feeding and dispersal.
