Modeling Pollen-Mediated Virus Spread in Bee Colonies as a Classroom Activity

Using a hands-on approach, this activity introduces students to the concept of viral spread and honey bee pathogenesis by illustrating pathogen transmission throughout the hive. This viral transmission activity, designed for introductory biology, virology, or microbiology classes, can be used in lab...
