Possible paralysis virus?

[ldeano]

Not sure exactly what is wrong but thinking paralysis virus. The hive I cut out of the tree about a week ago has about 6-12 bees crawling around on the ground unable to fly. I know that they have a heavy infestation of SHB that I am working on getting under control but I did not see any varroa. Can paralysis virus be caused by any stressor like SHB or is it strictly related to varroa?  And is there anything that I can do to help them recover?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. In north Texas just SHB traps and honey be healthy is all I have done at this point. I am going to open the hive up tomorrow any thing I should be looking for?

Since you just did a cut out a week ago, I would not worry about 6-12 bees walking around in front of the hive.
More than likely they were damaged while in the cell during the cut out.
I also would not be inspecting this hive right after the cut out. I would give them time to recover.

Ya, they're probably pretty stressed. Maybe give some feed if you think you can get away with it without robbing setting in. Even a qt of 1/1 might give em a shot of energy.

Me neither.  A few hundred would certainly be another matter...

Thank ya'll for the advice.  I have gone out and watched the hive everyday and everyday they have a hand full of bees on the ground.  I will just continue to feed and monitor them.  Thanks again for the help everyone!
