Diseases that affect bee hives (Apis mellifera) cause significant economic losses in the beekeeping sector. On the other hand, most of the pollination of greenhouse crops such as tomatoes is carried out by commercial hives of bumblebees of the species Bombus terrestris, which are raised on farms for this specific task. These bumblebee farms can be affected by these same diseases and parasites or their specific variants.
Periodic control of hives, both bees and bumblebees, is crucial to prevent the spread of these pathogens and parasites, a good diagnosis of the causative pathogen being crucial when establishing controls and applying an effective treatment.
