Strangely the paper shows Nosema ceranae in Scotland more in the NW than the east, and Dwarf Wing Virus, the universal marker of Varroa infection, with a remarkably patchy distribution and only a 30-odd% prevalence. Anybody else think this is odd? Yet they then tried to correlate this with apparent disease in captured bumble bees. Maybe I should read it properly, but it doesn't completely add up, despite the prestigious journal publishing it.
