A friend shared a photo of a frame full of bees and a queen and I was just trying to locate the queen. Then I observed 2 what appears to be mites, one on queen and one on the bee on the left side of queen. Are those varroa mites?

Here is the original photo and a zoomed out photo of a queen.

Hi, Yateendra: Unfortunately, you are right, they are mites.
