Here we test this hypothesis using adult male (drone) and female (worker) honey bees (Apis mellifera), inoculated with the gut endoparasite Nosema ceranae and/or black queen cell virus (BQCV). These pathogens were chosen due to previously reported synergistic interactions between Nosema apis ...
Second, worker bees foraging in the environment surrounding a colony are those most likely to come into contact with pesticides and other xenobiotics, thus selection for the biochemical mechanisms conferring pesticide resistance would need to act indirectly on drones and queens (the reproductive castes)...
