The mites are usually just hitching a lift to the nest, where they will live at the bottom and act as little housekeepers by eating detritus. So if you see a bumblebee with mites, all you need to do is … nothing! Just leave her bee. 2/2

Most bumblebees have little mites clinging to their bodies. In many cases, the mites are difficult to see, but sometimes there are enough of them to cover large parts of the bumblebee’s body. The good news is that most of the mites that live with bumblebees are harmless to them. 1/2
