Mites!

What a glorious afternoon it turned out to be!  I was sitting in the garden and the sun was hot!

There were hundreds loads of bees flying about.  I only noticed the little blobs on them when I was processing my photos.  So I had to Google...  mites!!!  There area some that carry disease and some that don't.  Every day is a school day!  Found this article if you are interested:
