      The bee louse Braula coeca is a highly specialised flattened, wingless fly with extensive global distribution. Female Braula can oviposit many places in the hive (empty cells, brood cappings, debris on the floor) but only eggs oviposited on honey cappings will hatch. Braula flies take between 10 and 21 days to develop from eggs to adults. Upon emergence from their eggs, Braula larvae construct a tunnel under the cell cappings. This visible tunnel is the most noticeable hive damage attributed to Braula. Although some consider this damage, it is only aesthetic damage and of minor economic importance. It is believed that Braula larvae feed on honey and pollen residues encountered while tunneling under the cell cappings. Braula adults often are found on the heads of honey bee workers, drones, and especially queens. It feeds by stealing food directly from bees during social feeding (trophallaxis). While on the head of its host bee, Braula will feed on food from the mouth of its host as the host is fed by another bee or is feeding another bee. There is some evidence that adult Braula can induce regurgitation from bees by stroking the upper edge of a bee's labrum until the bee extends its tongue. Braulae are reddish-brown in color and are often misdiagnosed as varroa mites due to their similar appearance. Notable difference useful as a field diagnosis to distinguish between varroa mites (mites) and Braula (insects) is that Braula, have six legs and has a rounded appearance while adult varroa mites have eight legs and are more compressed and oval. Based on our research in apiaries in Serbia, Braula is represented in a small percentage and does not represent a significant health problem of bee colonies.
