Honeybees as active samplers for microplastics
Science of the Total Environment, 2021 Microplastics are ubiquitous and their sampling is a difficult task. Honeybees interact with the environment inside their foraging range and take pollutants with them.

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2022 Modern agriculture is becoming increasingly pollinator-dependent. However, the global stock of domesticated honeybees is growing at a slower rate than its demand, while wild bees are declining worldwide. This uneven scenario of high pollinator demand and

Symbionts shape host innate immunity in honeybees
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020 The gut microbiome plays a critical role in the health of many animals. Honeybees are no exception, as they host a core microbiome that affects their nutrition and immune function.

Pollination services in the UK: How important are honeybees? [PDF]
Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, 2011 Pollination services are known to provide substantial benefits to human populations and agriculture in particular. Although many species are known to provide pollination services, honeybees (Apis mellifera) are often assumed to provide the majority of ...

Honeybees’ foraging choices for nectar and pollen revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Scientific Reports, 2023 Honeybees are the most widespread managed pollinators of our food crops, and a crucial part of their well-being is a suitable diet. Yet, we do not know how they choose flowers to collect nectar or pollen from.

The gut microbiota affects the social network of honeybees
bioRxiv, 2022 The gut microbiota influences animal neurophysiology and behavior but has not previously been documented to affect emergent group-level behaviors. Here we combine gut microbiota manipulation with automated behavioral tracking of honeybee sub-colonies to ...

Apilactobacillus kunkeei Alleviated Toxicity of Acetamiprid in Honeybee
Insects, 2022 Nowadays, colony collapse disorder extensively affects honeybees. Insecticides, including acetamiprid, are considered as critical factors. As prevalent probiotics, we speculated that supplementation with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) could alleviate ...

Compartmentalization of bacterial and fungal microbiomes in the gut of adult honeybees
npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2021 The core gut microbiome of adult honeybee comprises a set of recurring bacterial phylotypes, accompanied by lineage-specific, variable, and less abundant environmental bacterial phylotypes. Several mutual interactions and functional services to the host,
