Yes, honey bees carry diseases. The beneficial insects in question (Apis spp) contract bacterial diseases such as foulbrood and fungal diseases such as chalkbrood and stonebrood. They also suffer from viral diseases such as acute paralysis, chronic paralysis, cloudy wing, deformed wing, sacbrood and tobacco ringspot.

Its not really known that they do. I do know that they do feed on manure, for the nutrients. So if you get one from the wild, you might have to watch out for that. If they are not from the wild, and say, you ordered them online, then you are fine, because they haven't been exposed to those kinds of things.

It is possible that a vampire moth could carry certain diseases, however it is highly unlikely that this moth could spread diseases.
