Gut and Colony Microbiota of Honey Bees: Social Immunity and Opportunism Overwinter

2021-11-30

Abstract excerpt

Overwintering is a major contributor to honey bee colony loss and involves factors that influence disease susceptibility. Honey bees possess a secretory head gland that interfaces with the extended social environment on many levels. With the coming of winter, colonies produce a long-lived (diutinus) worker phenotype that survives until environmental conditions improve. We used a known-age worker cohort to investig...
