To say  that studying 
viruses in honeybees is a waste of time is like saying that  studying 
individual bees is a waste of time because it is the colony we  should be 
focusing on.  



The study could be extended to other arthropods as I understand that  
honeybee viruses in some cases have analogues in crustacea for example. This  might 
share the cost or introduce new sources of research funding.
