This paper introduces a new laboratory system to reliably rear honey bee queens and their offspring, bridging field research and lab trials while maintaining colony-like characteristics.

This study examines how temperature affects viral infection in honey bees by comparing viral enzyme activity, host traits, and infection rates across different temperatures.

This study investigates how DWV spreads among honey bees through social behaviors and vector interactions, showing host-to-host and host-to-vector transmission can sustain the pathogen in a population.

This study shows that Varroa destructor mites vector Deformed wing virus (DWV) with varying efficiency depending on their phoretic stage and the DWV type they transmit, with DWV-B reducing mite lifespan.

This study shows Varroa destructor spreads viruses by switching hosts during feeding, increasing its vectorial capacity through promiscuous behavior.

Beeporter enables non-invasive, high-throughput detection and quantification of DWV infection in honey bees using GFP-tagged virus and smartphone imaging.

The paper shows that worker honey bees cannibalizing DWV-infected pupae transmit the virus to other bees through trophallaxis, spreading DWV without Varroa mites.

The paper develops a honey bee RNA virus vector using Deformed wing virus (DWV) by inserting eGFP and observes genome deletions in the progeny.

This study confirms Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) replication in bumble bees using reverse genetics but shows resistance to infection via certain routes.

This paper introduces a novel in vitro system to maintain Varroa destructor mites on artificial diets and demonstrates their ability to acquire and transmit honey bee viruses.

This study investigates the population dynamics of Deformed wing virus (DWV) in honey bees, finding high genetic diversity in US colonies and proposing a model of diversification driven by negative frequency-dependent selection.

This study shows that Deformed wing virus type A is transmitted by Varroa mites without replication in the mites, as viral load decreases after passage and negative-strand RNA is only detected in mites exposed to high viral loads.
