DEFINITION

  • Black queen cell virus (BQCV) only affects the queen cells, and is one of the most frequent causes of mortality among the queen larvae. Affected queen bee pupae turn yellow, and the skin of the pupae becomes sac-like. The dead queen bee pupae may change to a brown-black colour. The walls of the queen bee cell also become brownblack in colour, hence the name of the virus.
