Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus
by Kate Whealen 01 May '26

01 May '26

> Recently I was called to help a beekeeper in the Las Campanas area figure out what was killing her bees. Upon inspection there were many hairless shiny bees with hairless black thoraxes as shown in the photos, and we found these infected bees in 3 colonies. One colony was severely infected with hundreds of dead bees inside and outside the hive. These were established colonies that had overwintered successfully. There had been no new queens, nucs or packages introduced into the bee yard. This is most likely Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus (CBPV). There are several paralytic bee viruses, it is hard to distinguish between them unless a laboratory can test for molecular pathogen loads. Infected bees were observed last year in a colony in central Santa Fe from a package of bees in the spring (the bees did recover), and have also been observed this year in south Santa Fe around the Country Club. > > I spoke with Amy Rogers of Desert Hives who does the annual honeybee testing for the New Mexico Dept. of Agriculture and the National Honey Bee Disease Survey. Honey bee samples collected in New Mexico in October of 2025 contained Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus so it’s been in New Mexico but everyone needs to be on the alert and recognize symptoms in their hives.

Hello Fellow Beekepers, On Saturday April 18 from 11 a.m <http://a.ma/>. to 1 p.m. at Wild Birds Unlimited (518-B Cordova Rd. near Trader Joe’s) I will be talking about how to attract bees and other pollinators to your gardens. Over the past decade I have been photographing common native bees you might find in your own yards and gardens and some of the native plants that support them. Please join us to talk about creating habitat under our tough New Mexico conditions. If you plant it, they will come! Kate
