To bee or not to bee.

This young bee can´t fly. It´s perfect, but only can beat the wings. Could be Nosema, or tracheal mite, or perhaps the virus X or Y.
The hive has low levels of varroa, and is strong, with high population and I have just harvest 40 kgs. of honey from the supers. But the problem is there, and it is not the cold, neither the inbreeding, nor bad polen.
