		Acarapis dorsalis mites were found breeding in the dorsal scutellar groove on the thorax of adult worker honey bees sampled in December from an apiary established last spring with package bees from California.
		The mites are of at least two species: Acarapis dorsalis breeding in the scutellar groove near the posterior dorsal part of the thorax, and A. vagans breeding on the wings or on the front portion of the abdomen.

		Bee-mite associations run the gamut from parasitism through commensalism to several types of mutualism, and many different lineages of bees have mite associates.
		Some species, like Acarapis woodi (family Tarsonemidae) and Locustacarus buchneri (family Podapolipidae) are endoparasites, feeding on host hemolymph from inside the tracheae of honey bees and bumblebees, respectively.
		Variations on the parasite theme include species of Pyemotes (family Pyemotidae) that are actually parasitoids, killing the host in the process of feeding.
