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

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.
