What is Effects of Sacbrood Virus on Adult Honey‐bees about?
## SUMMARY Much sacbrood virus accumulates in the brains of infected bees, especially of drones, without causing symptoms. However, infected individuals fly earlier in life than healthy bees and most infected foragers fail __to__ collect pollen, as do bees briefly anaesthetized with CO~2~. The few infected bees that gather pollen contaminate their loads with much sacbrood virus. Infection does not shorten the lives of drones, or of workers that have been deprived of pollen, but it much shortens the prolonged lives of workers that have eaten pollen. Infected workers, healthy workers deprived of pollen, and senile individuals are unable to maintain the usual metabolic rates of bees at temperatures below 35^o^C, or to resist chilling.
