New work on the relationship between viruses and bee behavior
> Viral pathogens are critical factors in honey bee health, but effects of viral infection on honey bee behavior are difficult to study and can manifest differently across contexts.
> Collectively, these chapters present the first description of potential adaptive honey bee behavioral manipulation by viruses, and highlight the need to reduce pathogen spread in apiaries by improving honey bee management practices.
