A study by Diana Cox Foster and team, published today in PlosOne, documents the
mechanism in which virus transmission can occur between species of bees feeding on
the same sources pollen.

"The role of pollen in interspecies virus transmission is supported by
phylogenetic analysis" and separately:

"Importantly, pollen can have a role in virus transmission among pollinators without
the reservoir-host species being in the same locale."
