The specialized hygienic behavior of selected honey bees, called varroa sensitive hygiene (VSH), was thought to cause high levels of non‐reproductive mites. To further investigate this link, we used the experimental setup and data sets from a four‐year selection project designed to breed mite non‐reproduction (MNR) and VSH colonies.

Microbiome and floral associations of a wild bee using biodiversity survey collections
The core microbiome of the bicoloured sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens, is described for the first time using pinned museum specimens. Collection method and geographic variation in microbial and plant diversity are also characterised. Ongoing wild bee surveys have potential to reveal hidden stressors underpinning bee health and dietary breadth ...

Biotic and abiotic stresses on honeybee health
The globally distributed honeybees are subject to various interacting biotic (brown background) and abiotic (green background) stressors, during foraging and nesting, taking into consideration the sensitivity, large foraging area, dense network among related nestmates, and social behaviors. Abstract Honeybees are the most critical pollinators providing

The control of European foulbrood
"European foulbrood is a disease of the brood of bees which has caused great losses to American beekeepers. It was first recognized as a distinct disease in the United States by New York beekeepers in 1894, but it has probably been present in the United ...
