Hi all
RE: recent work on DWV. Wenseleers is quoted. Does anyone have a link to the actual paper?
I posted about this earlier this year, the info is:
> Overall, our results demonstrate that DWV infections have strongly deleterious effects on adult honey bees, with both mortality rates, and—to a lesser extent—foraging behaviour being clearly affected. In particular, DWV-infected bees started to forage at an earlier age and showed reduced lifespans and total activity spans than control bees.
