Right, and something for beekeepers to look at. For Deitz early on in his book on varroa mites, said bees chewed the wings in cells deforming wings, and also in phoretic state, but viruses connected means what then for putting whole picture together. And, knowing how you all think over here decided to post it for talk to see what others rationalize.......for if now phoretic state and treated, and bees flying out and it colder with class 2 pyrethroid to negative, then what is the real connection being seen....For if the virus is there for DWV, is it that or chewing by varroa on wings or combination of both? Or is it combination of chewing by mites and vectoring in of virus (both). Just what do you guys think?
