The rapid spread of the disease had taken the medical and scientific world by surprise, and it is still trying to fully understand the condition and to apply an appropriate terminology to describe it. There seems to be a preoccupation with its infectivity or transmission rate yet very rarely is its virulence reported on. The fact that in the early stages there was limited medical intervention (and no vaccine) that could be used, and patients were largely depending on their own innate immunity, is similar to what happens with honey bees where no intervention (treatment) is applied in the case of an exotic parasite such as the Varroa mite. It is therefore interesting to compare the development of this infectious disease in humans with infections or infestations in honey bees. Also, the exotic nature of COVID-19, and each of its variants, is seldom alluded to even though this can give a useful insight as to how it would be expected to develop, and in particular the expected reduction in its virulence over time.

Introduction Honey bees, Apis species (Hymenoptera: Apidae) are the most important pollinators of agricultural products (Rucker et al., 2012). Especially, worker bees produce highly diverse and economically valuable products such as honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, bee venom, and beeswax (Kafantaris et al., 2021). However, honey bee pests and diseases constitute one of the most prominent factors affecting and restricting the development and progress of beekeeping activities (Antunez et al., 2006; Doğaroğlu, 1999). Among the honey bee pathogens, viruses rank first in terms of threatening the health of honey bees (Tantillo et al., 2015). The vast majority of viruses found in honey bees are positive-stranded RNA viruses (de Miranda et al., 2013). Viruses can be transmitted to different stages of honey bees such as eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. The transmission of honey bee viruses occurs in two ways, horizontal and vertical. The most common causes of contamination in honey bees are caused by food, contact, and vectors (Nosema and Varroa) (Fujiyuki et al., 2006; Shah et al., 2009).
蜜蜂(膜翅目:蜜蜂科)是农产品最重要的传粉者(Rucker et al.， 2012)。特别是，工蜂生产高度多样化和具有经济价值的产品，如蜂蜜、花粉、蜂胶、蜂王浆、蜂毒和蜂蜡(Kafantaris et al.， 2021)。然而，蜜蜂病虫害是影响和制约养蜂活动发展和进步的最突出因素之一(Antunez et al.， 2006;做ğaroğlu, 1999)。在蜜蜂病原体中，病毒对蜜蜂健康的威胁排名第一(Tantillo et al.， 2015)。在蜜蜂中发现的绝大多数病毒是正链RNA病毒(de Miranda et al.， 2013)。病毒可以传播到不同阶段的蜜蜂，如卵、幼虫、蛹和成虫。蜜蜂病毒的传播有两种方式，水平和垂直。蜜蜂中最常见的污染原因是食物、接触和病媒(小虫病和瓦螨病)(Fujiyuki等人，2006年;Shah et al.， 2009)。

Routine and scientific surveillance for Varroa destructor in colonies is now part of most beekeepers’ tool kits (Lee et al., 2010). Anecdotal evidence suggests that while the alcohol wash method is regarded as the gold standard, most beekeepers use the sugar shake technique due to its ease and also because, for hobby beekeepers, tested bees can be returned to the colony.

Beekeeping does not just play a crucial role in the North Macedonian economy, but it is also a country rich in forest area. The country has more than three times the forest area when compared to the UK and also is above the forest coverage percentage when compared to the average coverage of low, middle and high income countries (World Bank/FAO, 2021). This makes it a country well suited for honey production on a large scale.

Introduction Beekeeping is a common rural based economic activity in the world (Abebe, 2007; Adgaba et al., 2014; Bekuma, 2018) and has long been practised primarily for gathering honey which is an important bee product in many societies (Lee, 2014). Recently, great potential of beekeeping has been recognized as it is not only the source of honey but also other important bee products. These include bee wax, bee venom and bee pollen (Tutuba & Vanhaverbeke, 2018). Beekeeping has been greatly acknowledged to have functions such as improving environment and as an alternative source of improving people’s livelihood (John, 2014). Beekeeping has gradually evolved from traditional to commercial practice. Thus, commercialized beekeeping is viewed to be an economic occupation involving application of new innovation and improved technologies in management of honey bee colonies, apiary management, forage, production and product management (Tutuba & Vanhaverbeke, 2018). Beekeeping is more than honey hunting; rather it is the modern art and science of managing honey bees for receiving their commercial potential (Abebe, 2007; Sharma & Das, 2018; Tutuba & Vanhaverbeke, 2018). It is still claimed that the sector has not received enough attention in many tropical developing countries (Adgaba et al., 2014; Bekuma, 2018). Tropical developing countries have great potential for beekeeping because of having many bee colonies. In addition, the tropical areas are endowed with massive forests, which produce forage for honey bees to produce good quality and large quantity of honey. However, both good quality and quantity of honey is affected by the level of technology such as innovation in apiary setting, proper management of beehives and production process (Bett, 2017).
