Honey bee is vital for pollination and ecological services, boosting crops productivity in terms of quality and quantity and production of colony products: wax, royal jelly, bee venom, honey, pollen and propolis. Honey bees are most important plant pollinators and almost one third of diet depends on bee's pollination, worth billions of dollars. Hence the role that honey bees have in environment and their economic importance in food production, their health is of dominant significance. Honey bees can be infected by various pathogens like: viruses, bacteria, fungi, or infested by parasitic mites. At least more than 20 viruses have been identified to infect honey bees worldwide, generally from Dicistroviridae as well as Iflaviridae families, like ABPV (Acute Bee Paralysis Virus), BQCV (Black Queen Cell Virus), KBV (Kashmir Bee Virus), SBV (Sacbrood Virus), CBPV (Chronic bee paralysis virus), SBPV (Slow Bee Paralysis Virus) along with IAPV (Israeli acute paralysis virus), and DWV (Deformed Wing Virus) are prominent and cause infections harmful for honey bee colonies health. This issue about honey bee viruses demonstrates remarkably how diverse this field is, and considerable work has to be done to get a comprehensive interpretation of the bee virology.
蜜蜂对授粉和生态服务至关重要，在提高作物产量（包括质量和数量）以及生产蜂群产品（如蜂蜡、蜂王浆、蜂毒、蜂蜜、花粉和蜂胶）方面发挥着重要作用。蜜蜂是最重要的植物授粉者，几乎三分之一的食物供应依赖蜜蜂授粉，价值数十亿美元。因此，鉴于蜜蜂在环境中的作用及其在粮食生产中的经济重要性，它们的健康具有至关重要的意义。蜜蜂可能会受到各种病原体的感染，如病毒、细菌、真菌，或被寄生螨侵扰。全世界至少已鉴定出20多种病毒可感染蜜蜂，这些病毒通常来自双顺反子病毒科以及伊弗纳病毒科，如急性蜜蜂麻痹病毒（ABPV）、黑蜂王台病毒（BQCV）、克什米尔蜜蜂病毒（KBV）、囊状幼虫病毒（SBV）、慢性蜜蜂麻痹病毒（CBPV）、慢蜜蜂麻痹病毒（SBPV）以及以色列急性麻痹病毒（IAPV）和残翅病毒（DWV），这些病毒较为突出，会对蜜蜂蜂群的健康造成有害感染。关于蜜蜂病毒的这个问题显著地表明了这个领域是多么多样化，并且必须开展大量工作才能对蜜蜂病毒学有全面的理解。
