    Area of Science:

    • Ecology and Environmental Science
    • Virology
    • Entomology

    Background:

    • Pollination by wild insects and honey bees is a vital ecosystem service.
    • Declines in pollinator populations, including honey bees and bumblebees, pose significant threats to food security and agriculture.
    • Viruses are increasingly recognized as critical factors contributing to bee losses and colony declines.

    Discussion:

    • This special issue focuses on the current state of bee virus research.
    • It includes studies on newly discovered viruses like Lake Sinai viruses and bee macula-like virus.
    • Research also examines a previously neglected virus, Apis mellifera filamentous virus.

    Key Insights:

    • Viruses are confirmed as major drivers of bee population declines.
    • Advanced technologies such as mass spectrometry and RNA interference (RNAi) are being applied to study bee viruses.
    • Understanding these viruses is crucial for developing effective conservation and management strategies.

    Outlook:

    • Continued research into novel and neglected bee viruses is essential.
    • Further application of cutting-edge technologies will enhance our understanding of virus-host interactions.
    • Addressing bee virus threats is critical for maintaining ecosystem services and global food security.
