Microbiome and floral associations of a wild bee using biodiversity survey collections
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 6, June 2024.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
Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 442-457, May 2024.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

Beekeeping, stewardship and multispecies care in rural contexts
Sociologia Ruralis, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 202-221, April 2024.Abstract Rural society consists of both humans and other‐than‐human species, whose needs may appear to contradict each other. There is a growing awareness of the shared ecological fate of all members of this interspecies community and the importance of transitioning to more caring, sustainable relationships between species.

Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, February 9, 2024.Tryptophan prenyltransferase PalQ is a novel member of the isoprene synthase domain superfamily. The C3 prenylation of the tryptophan side chain, mediated by PalQ, alters the conformational dynamics of the peptide backbone. Abstract Post‐translational prenylations, found in eukaryotic primary metabolites and bacterial secondary metabolites, play ...

Lactic acid bacteria in Swedish honey bees during outbreaks of American foulbrood
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.To investigate if the bacterial disease American foulbrood (AFB) affects lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in honeybees, adult bees were collected from colonies with and without AFB during outbreaks in Sweden. We found differences in the abundance of the individual LAB between the different outbreaks.

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–February 2024.This paper presents the development of eDNA metabarcoding for early detection and monitoring of honey bee pests and pathogens. We sampled 13 sources for eDNA within and outside hives from our test apiary to determine where the most informative eDNA could be obtained.
