Exposure to multiple stress factors is believed to contribute to honey bee colony decline. However, little is known about how co-exposure to stress factors can alter the survival and behavior of free-living honey bees in colony conditions. We therefore studied the potential interaction between a neonicotinoid pesticide, thiamethoxam, and a highly prevalent honey bee pathogen, <i>Deformed wing virus</i> (DWV). For this purpose, tagged bees were exposed to DWV by feeding or injection, and/or to fi ...[more]
