Honey bee gut microbiota play specific roles in promoting host growth and physiology by regulating the immune system, behavior, metabolism, and neurological processes. While the gut microbiota of hone
In the work we analysed the exposure of honey bees to sub-micrometer TiO2 particles, highlighting a reduction in gut bacterial diversity and a change in composition for both acute and chronic exposure
We hypothesized that diet affects the nutritional status, productivity, and gut microbiome of honey bee colonies as there are being built up for the almond pollination. We expected that our treatments
