Got my nuc last weekend and have sucessfully installed it into the hive.
Noticed today that there were 2 bees with stunted wings walking around the ground by the hive.
Is this a sign of varroa ? I have examined the 2 bees carefully and there are no varroa on them or is this just an abnormality that affects a certain percentage of bees born due to fluctuating humidity levels ?
