| Description | Survey data from commercial bee hives in China showed that the non-native honey bee (Apis mellifera) has high levels of a pathogenic disease called deformed wing virus (DWV), and this disease may spread into the native Asian honeybee Apis cerana. This work was published in: Diao et al (2019). Prevalence and population genetics of the emerging honey bee pathogen DWV in Chinese apiculture. Scientific Reports. |
| Exploitation Route | The data from the one study we were able to complete and publish have important management recommendations for beekeeping management and disease prevention in managed honeybee colonies in China. |
