Common viral infections inhibit egg laying in honey bee queens and are linked to premature supersedure

2024-04-20

Abstract excerpt

With their long lives and extreme reproductive output, social insect queens have escaped the classic trade-off between fecundity and lifespan but evidence for a trade-off between fecundity and immunity has been inconclusive. This is in part because pathogenic effects are seldom decoupled from effects of immune induction. We conducted parallel, blind virus infection experiments in the laboratory and in the field to...
