Tracheal mites are the ones that get in the throats of honeybees, that's what I've read is the worst. They came from China, I think in Chinese honey. No natural predators here. I was surprised to learn that honeybees are not native to the Americas. There are also varroa mites that eat the larvae.

Some beekeepers think that pesticides are the problem. Some beekeepers think that the practice of feeding bees sugar water is the problem. But there are also definitely mites.
