ABSTRACT Sequence data indicate that a new virus, bee xinmovirus 1, is present in both honey bee ( Apis mellifera ) and mining bee ( Andrena spp.) samples from Israel. The near-complete genome is approximately 13,130 nucleotides long and most similar to viruses of the family Xinmoviridae (S. Sharpe and S. Paraskevopoulou, J Gen Virol 104:001906, 2023, https://doi.org/10.1099/jgv.0.001906 ).
