The two correct answers that support the analysis regarding the connection between bumblebee infections and proximity to apiaries, particularly for the deformed wing virus, are:
1. Areas with denser flower patches near apiaries showed higher rates of deformed wing virus infection in bumblebees.
2. No bumblebees foraging over a half mile away from apiaries were infected with deformed wing virus.
These statements highlight the stronger correlation between the deformed wing virus and the presence of honeybee apiaries compared to the black queen cell virus.
