"When you talk about the immune system, what is this based on? Do we
know that bees have an immune system? Immunity to what diseases?"

Peter, to see more information on immunity of honeybee, I refer you to the
very interesting Ph.D. thesis defended by Colin DENHOLM at IACR-Rothamsted
in U.K.(1999)"Inducible honeybee viruses associated with Varroa jacobsoni"
(You can replace jacobsoni by destructor).
