Summer brings sunshine and the gentle hum of bees over a colorful flower meadow

Summer brings sunshine and the gentle hum of bees over a colorful flower meadow. While honeybees busily flit from bloom to bloom, bumblebees move more clumsily through the air. This interaction between the two bee species appears peaceful, yet it harbors a deadly risk. According to the German Beekeepers' Association, each honeybee visits 200 to 300 flowers in about 30 flights per day. However, these industrious workers can fall ill; sudden trembling can incapacitate them, often due to the Acute Bee Paralysis Virus (ABPV), as reported by Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR).
