Researchers at the University of British Columbia have discovered that viral infections in honey bee queens reduce their pheromone production, triggering workers to replace them through a process called supersedure. This finding explains many queen failures faced by beekeepers and suggests synthetic pheromones as a solution to stabilize hives. The study highlights the role of viruses, often spread by varroa mites, in disrupting colony health.
