House Bee
Is here much proportion of honeybees that clean varroa off themselves or each other? I read somewhere about a hive of bees which routinely bit the legs off any varroa mites that they found.
See Acarinarium - Wikipedia for species of bees or wasps that carry particular species of mites about and leave them in their nests as hired guards. Some sorts have in the front of the abdomen a big "passenger cabin" to carry these mites.
