Viruses are significant threats to the health and well‐being of the honey bee, Apis mellifera.
To alleviate the threats posed by these invasive organisms, a better understanding of bee …

Acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), Kashmir bee virus (KBV) and Israeli acute paralysis virus
(IAPV) are part of a complex of closely related viruses from the Family Dicistroviridae. These …

Honey bee virus research is an enormously broad area, ranging from subcellular molecular
biology through physiology and behaviour, to individual and colony-level symptoms …

Honeybees are essential components to modern agriculture and economy. However, a
continuous increase in cases of colony losses and colony depopulation are being reported …

Managed insect pollinators are indispensable in modern agriculture. They are used
worldwide not only in the open field but also in greenhouses to enhance fruit set, seed …

The health and vigour of honeybee colonies are threatened by numerous parasites (such as
Varroa destructor and Nosema spp.) and pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa …

The global spread of the parasitic Varroa mite has introduced a new bee to the bee
