Bee–fungus associations are common, and while most studies focus on entomopathogens,
emerging evidence suggests that bees associate with a variety of symbiotic fungi that can …

Honey bees are model organisms for microbiota research. Gut microbiomes are very
interesting for surveys due to their simple structure and relationship with hive production …

The Darwin Tree of Life (DToL) project aims to sequence all described terrestrial and
aquatic eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland. Reference genome sequences are …

Honeybees (Apis mellifera) offer ecosystem services such as pollination, conservation of
biodiversity, and provision of food. However, in recent years, the number of honeybee …

Honey bees are large-scale monitoring tools due to their extensive environmental
exploration. In their activities and from the hive ecosystem complex, they get in close contact …

Honeybee gut microbiota modulates the health and fitness of honeybees, the ecologically
and economically important pollinators and honey producers. However, which processes …

The holobiont approach proposes that species are most fully understood within the context
of their associated microbiomes, and that both host and microbial community are locked in a …

In Hungary, as part of a nationwide, climatically balanced survey for a next-generation
sequencing-based study of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) gut microbiome, repeated …

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) produce an enormous economic value through their pollination
activities and play a central role in the biodiversity of entire ecosystems. Recent efforts have …

It is generally assumed that viruses outnumber cells on Earth by at least tenfold. Virus-to-
microbe ratios (VMR) are largely based on counts of fluorescently labelled virus-like …
