>Is it possible that what you fed were not infectious particles. (Bill Hesbach)
All of those studies conducted similar/relevant infections/inoculations/feeding of honey bees in parallel. The virus was infectious.
You need to demonstrate replication in case other things cause similar symptoms. If the virus is not replicating it cannot cause symptoms, if there are symptoms but the virus is not replicating then those symptoms must be for a different reason.
