Nice article that came across my desk today. Shows the ubiquity of viral infection in the HB, even in the absence of varroa, the effect of varroa introduction on resident virus types/variants and coinfections, and the propensity for virus to spread to predator species (in this case yellowjackets) in the absence of co-parasitism by the primary vector (ie, varroa). The access link to the actual article and PR story from UC Riverside is here: https://news.ucr.edu/articles/2019/01/08/bee-mite-arrival-hawaii-causes-pathogen-changes-honeybee-predators
