Abstract Guards of Cyprian honey bee colonies Apis mellifera cypria display a great defensive behaviour against hornets attacks. The deformed wing virus DWV and the kakugo virus KV genomes are very similar but unlike KV the presence of DWV is not related to honey bees aggressiveness. This discrepancy is further discussed. Findings Temporal polyethism is widespread among social hymenopteran and particularly in the honey bee Apis mel-lifera L. 1 2 . The behavioural shifts that occur as a worker ages are .
