Viruses, including DWV, can be carried in honey bee eggs from infected 
queens. They are also transmitted via feeding by infected nurse bees. 
See, for example, Yanping Chen, Jay Evans and Mark Feldlaufer, 
"Horizontal and vertical transmission of viruses in the honey bee, Apis 
mellifera", Journal of Invertebrate Pathology 92 (2006) 152–159
