Unshared on the top: strong segregation of pathogen communities between western honey bees and wild bees in a retreating glacier foreland

Oikos, EarlyView.
Shared flowers can facilitate pathogen transmission between managed honey bees and wild bees, yet this process remains poorly understood in ecosystems undergoing rapid environmental change. Using a glacier foreland in Switzerland, we present the first study on how glacier retreat stages and bee life‐history traits influence pathogen occurrence across ...
