Changes in gut microbiota and metabolism associated with phenotypic plasticity in the honey bee Apis mellifera Open
Honey bees exhibit an elaborate social structure based in part on an age-related division of labor. Young workers perform tasks inside the hive, while older workers forage outside the hive, tasks associated with distinct diets and metaboli…

Social microbiota and social gland gene expression of worker honey bees by age and climate Open
Winter forage dearth is a major contributor to honey bee colony loss and can influence disease susceptibility. Honey bees possess a secretory head gland that interfaces with the social environment on many levels. During winter or forage de…

Microbiomes associated with European foul brood disease, and idiopathic brood disease syndrome in honey bees. Open
Critical for pollination, commercial honey bees ( Apis mellifera ) are faced with a variety of pathogenic and environmental stressors that often result in colony or crop loss. One highly prevalent pathogen is the larval disease European fo…

Microbial Ecology of European Foul Brood Disease in the Honey Bee (Apis mellifera): Towards a Microbiome Understanding of Disease Susceptibility Open
European honey bees (Apis mellifera Linnaeus) are beneficial insects that provide essential pollination services for agriculture and ecosystems worldwide. Modern commercial beekeeping is plagued by a variety of pathogenic and environmental…

Honey bee colony performance and health are enhanced by apiary proximity to US Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) lands Open
Honey bee colony performance and health are intimately linked to the foraging environment. Recent evidence suggests that the US Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has a positive impact on environmental suitability for supporting honey bee …
