This study examines how viral infections affect honey bee egg composition, finding that experimental infections alter proteomic profiles, while natural infections do not, with seasonal factors playing a significant role.

The paper investigates how body mass, viral infections, Africanization, and geographic origin affect heat tolerance in drone honey bees, finding that body size and origin significantly influence survival, while sperm heat tolerance is impacted by viral infections.

This study shows that viral infections reduce honey bee queen egg-laying and are linked to supersedure, but immune responses are not fully responsible for these effects.
