What is the ‘Deformed Wing Virus’

Mushroom extracts are reversing the effects of Deformed Wing Virus.

DWV is a RNA virus transmitted to bees which shortens the lifespan of the workers and causes developmental abnormalities in honey bees including deformed wings as seen below.

Reishi & Amadou Mushroom extracts are reversing the effects of Deformed Wing Virus. 

It is apparent that extracts from Fungi have powerful anti-viral properties reversing the effects of the Deformed Wing Virus affecting Honey Bees.

Bees fed extracts from polypore mycelium exhibit reversed DWV effects.

 

Varroa Destructor Mite.

The varroa destructor transmits a RNA virus into bee hives which causes DWV. ​

It is essential that we find solutions to slow down colony collapse amongst honey bees. Our food relies on honey bees for pollination.
