Hot and Bothered, Bees’ Gut Microbiome Shifts Under Thermal Stress and Pathogen Infection

2025-11-07

Abstract excerpt

Understanding bumble bee gut health is imperative as these vital pollinators are subjected to pathogenic infections and thermal stress from climate change. The gut microbiome serves as an indicator for health and fitness and indicates the types of stress. To investigate the combined effects of thermal stress and pathogenic infection on bee guts, we performed a two-by-two crossed design where Bombus impatiens worke...
