Symptomatic Infection with Vairimorpha spp. Decreases Diapause Survival in a Wild Bumble Bee Species (Bombus griseocollis)
Simple Summary Our work shows that bumble bee queens that grew up in a colony infested
by parasites are less likely to survive the winter diapause. However, infection levels in …
