Ecology of Pollen Storage in Honey Bees: Sugar Tolerant Yeast and the Aerobic Social Microbiota [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Honey bee colonies are resource rich and densely populated, generating a constant battle to control microbial growth. Honey is relatively sterile in comparison with beebread: a food storage medium comprising pollen mixed with honey and worker head-gland ...
