The triungulins, safe from their hosts, are transported by them right into the hives. Once inside the colonies, the triungulins drop off, attack and devour eggs, brood (M. cicafrícosus), honey (M. proscarabeus) and pollen. Some, like the larvae of M. variegatus, are even capable of sucking the haemolymph of adult bees which succumb with convulsive movements (Bailey, 1981)
