Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are key pollinators that support global agriculture and are long-
established models for developmental and behavioural research. Recently, they have …

Pesticide exposure, infectious disease, and nutritional stress contribute to honey bee
mortality and a high rate of colony loss. This realization has fueled a decades-long …

The host‐associated core microbiome was originally coined to refer to common groups of
microbes or genes that were likely to be particularly important for host biological function …

The gut microbiota affects the physiology and metabolism of animals and its alteration can
lead to diseases such as gut dysplasia or metabolic disorders. Several reports have shown …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) populations play a crucial role in supporting pollination
of food crops but are facing unsustainable colony losses, largely due to rampant disease …

Numerous honeybee (Apis mellifera) products, such as honey, propolis, and bee venom, are
used in traditional medicine to prevent illness and promote healing. Therefore, this insect …

Honeybee gut microbiota plays an important role in host physiology and metabolism. Recent
studies have shown that the influence of the resident microorganisms in the regulation of …

Commensal microbes in animal guts often help to exclude bacterial pathogens. In honey
bees, perturbing or depleting the gut microbiota increases host mortality rates upon …

Recent studies highlighted that exposure to glyphosate can affect specific members of the
core gut microbiota of honey bee workers. However, in this study, bees were exposed to …
