"Are Commercial Honeybees Making Wild Bees Sick?"
by Berly McCoy

The team then measured the number of viruses stuck to each bee. Just because an animal has a virus on its outside doesn't mean it has an infection. You may have touched your friend's influenza-soaked tissue, but washed your hands before the flu infected you. So the researchers also tested each bee for virus genetic material, which is only made once the virus infects a host.

Which of the following is the best paraphrase of this excerpt from the text?
(1 point)

Scientists studied bees to see if they had been exposed or infected by viruses. Being exposed does not necessarily mean being infected.

Scientists pointed out that "just because an animal has a virus on its outside doesn't mean it has an infection." Because of this, they studied the bees in multiple ways.

The team wanted to know if bees had viruses stuck to them and if they were infected. Even if bees touched an infected tissue, it would not mean they were themselves infected

The team then measured the number of viruses stuck to each bee. This is because viruses can get stuck to the bee without infecting them. They also tested each bee for virus genetic material that would show if they were infected.

The best paraphrase of the excerpt from the text is:

**The team then measured the number of viruses stuck to each bee. This is because viruses can get stuck to the bee without infecting them. They also tested each bee for virus genetic material that would show if they were infected.**
