In summer, honey bees and bumblebees buzz together over flower meadows

In summer, honey bees and bumblebees buzz together over flower meadows. Honey bees fly about 30 times daily, visiting 200 to 300 flowers, but they can be infected by the Acute Bee Paralysis Virus (ABPV), which causes trembling and death. Previously thought to originate from honey bees alone, a study in Ecology Letters reveals that ABPV spreads between different bee species, with the bumblebee (Steinhummel) as the main transmitter.
