The two pieces of evidence from the text that best support the inference that honeybees—not bumblebees—are responsible for infecting the studied flowers are:
1. **All of the honeybees researchers collected were infected with both viruses.**
2. **All the infected flowers researchers picked and tested were close to apiaries.**
These statements imply that honeybees, which were confirmed to be infected, are likely the source of the infections found in the flowers that were close to the apiaries.
