USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s Identification Technology
Program (ITP) is pleased to announce the release of *Bee Mite ID:
Bee-associated Mite Genera of the World*. This tool allows for
identification of adult and immature mite life stages found on bees and in
their nests, focuses on important bee pollinators, and can help in
distinguishing harmful from non-harmful mites.



This web-based tool is designed with components people with varying degrees
of knowledge can use. *Bee Mite ID* features resources to help users
identify mites found on bees, including an illustrated interactive key,
comprehensive fact sheets, a filterable image gallery, quick reference
guides, illustrated mite and bee morphology pages, and more!



Please find the attached PDF announcement to see an overview of ITP’s
newest identification tool for PPQ and its partners. Please also feel free
