Phytoscutus wongsirii is a species of mite in the family Phytoseiidae. [1]
The dwarf honey bee, Apis florea, is one of two species of small, wild honey bees of southern and southeastern Asia. It has a much wider distribution than its sister species, Apis andreniformis. First identified in the late 18th century, Apis florea is unique for its morphology, foraging behavior and defensive mechanisms like making a piping noise. Apis florea have open nests and small colonies, which makes them more susceptible to predation than cavity nesters with large numbers of defensive workers. These honey bees are important pollinators and therefore commodified in countries like Cambodia.
Apis andreniformis, or the black dwarf honey bee, is a relatively rare species of honey bee whose native habitat is the tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia.

Euvarroa wongsirii is a species of bee mite native to Southeast Asia. It can be found in areas ranging from southern China to the Palawan Island of the Philippines and lives alongside Euvarroa sinhai, another bee mite species. E. wongsirii is a parasite, which lives on bees, using them as a food source. This mite has been found almost exclusively in the bee Apis andreniformis in Thailand.
