If you add bees to the already complicated mix of varroa mites and
viruses, the outcomes become even more complex. This paper shows that
adult bees detect and remove brood infected with a high replicating
strain of DWV, and do not do the same with other less virulent
strains. Through social immunity bees can also rid the colony of the
highly virulent form of the virus.

behaviour towards Varroa destructor-parasitised brood in the western
