Abstract：In the last couple of decades,the number of insect pollinators especially the honeybee has declined rapidly.Honeybee colony collapse disorder(CCD) is the main reason that brings serious threat to the development of bee industry and the crop production.Among honeybee pathogens,RNA viruses are suspected as a key player to CCD.It is noteworthy that the honeybee RNA viruses,which were originally thought to have a specific host,are also detected in a number of non-Apis Hymenopteran species,suggesting that the wide environmental spread of honeybee RNA viruses maybe cause dramatic decrease of insect pollinators.This paper summarized the distribution of sacbrood virus (SBV),deformed wing virus (DWV),black queen cell virus(BQCV),acute bee paralysis virus(ABPV) and other common honeybee RNA viruses in pollinators.In addition,the diagnosis and prevention methods of bee virus disease were also presented.These are of great importance to the epidemiological investigation of viruses in the whole pollinators and the protection of insect pollinators,and will provide a theoretical reference for the establishment of comprehensive prevention and control system of honeybee diseases.
