Abstract
Three pseudoscorpions identified as Neobisium validum were found in a honeybee hive in Bursa Province of Turkey. They were collected from the bottom of the hive but no relationship between the pseudoscorpions and bees was observed. This case is a first report of pseudoscorpions in a honeybee hive from Turkey.
