Feeding Honeybee Colonies with Honeybee-Specific Lactic Acid Bacteria (Hbs-LAB) Does Not Affect Colony-Level Hbs-LAB Composition or Paenibacillus larvae Spore Levels, Although American Foulbrood Affected Colonies Harbor a More Diverse Hbs-LAB Community

Abstract: The main current methods for controlling American Foulbrood (AFB) in honeybees, caused by the bacterial pathogen Paenibacillus larvae, are enforced incineration or prophylactic antibiotic treatment, neither of which is fully satisfactory. This has led to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.4c13656
Abstract: Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are important pollinators. Their foraging behaviors are essential to colony sustainability. Sublethal exposure to pesticides such as neonicotinoids can significantly disrupt these behaviors, in particular pollen foraging. We investigated the effects of… read more here.

Abstract: Simple Summary The number of honey bee, Apis mellifera L., colonies has reduced around the globe, and one potential cause is their unintended exposure to sublethal stressors such as agricultural pesticides. The quantification of such… read more here.
