Project description
The main hypotheses of this project are that the honeybee virome is largely underexplored, that many currently unknown viruses may play a crucial role in Winter Loss (WL) and Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) in beehives worldwide, and that the reduction of the burden of particular viruses may be of great benefit for overall honeybee health.
