Viral species differentially influence macronutrient preferences based on honey bee genotype

Biology Open, 2022
Food quantity and macronutrients contribute to honey bee health and colony survival by mediating immune responses. We determined if this held true for bees injected with chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV) and deformed wing virus (DWV), two common honey ...
