To provide a precise response, I'd need to see the specific text you are referring to. However, in general, evidence that could support a claim about a relationship between bumblebee infections and their proximity to honeybee apiaries might include:
-
Statistical Data: Results showing higher infection rates in bumblebees found closer to honeybee farms compared to those further away.
-
Experimental Results: Findings from experiments assessing bumblebee health in various locations relative to honeybee apiaries.
-
Observational Studies: Descriptions of patterns observed over time, such as increased infections during certain seasons when honeybee activity is high.
-
Ecological or Microbial Analysis: Studies that identify specific pathogens or parasites present in both bumblebees and honeybees, suggesting transmission routes.
-
Geographical Data: Maps or charts displaying the distribution of bumblebee infections in relation to honeybee colonies.
If you provide the specific text or summarize it, I can help identify the best supporting evidence.
