Journal ArticleDOI
The Bacterial Communities Associated with Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Foragers
TL;DR: The crop microbial environment is influenced by worker task, and may function in both decontamination and inoculation, concluding that the crop taxa at low abundance include core hindgut bacteria in transit to their primary niche, and potential pathogens or food spoilage organisms seemingly vectored from the pollination environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Ecology of the Hive and Pollination Landscape: Bacterial Associates from Floral Nectar, the Alimentary Tract and Stored Food of Honey Bees (Apis mellifera)
Kirk E. Anderson,Kirk E. Anderson,Timothy H. Sheehan,Timothy H. Sheehan,Brendon M. Mott,Brendon M. Mott,Patrick Maes,Patrick Maes,Lucy A. Snyder,Melissa R. Schwan,Alexander Walton,Alexander Walton,Beryl M. Jones,Beryl M. Jones,Vanessa Corby-Harris +14 more
TL;DR: The results reveal that many bacteria prevalent in beebread and the crop are also found in floral nectar, suggesting frequent horizontal transmission, and do not support the core crop bacterial community hypothesized by recent studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hive-stored pollen of honey bees: many lines of evidence are consistent with pollen preservation, not nutrient conversion.
Kirk E. Anderson,Kirk E. Anderson,Mark J. Carroll,Mark J. Carroll,Tim Sheehan,Brendon M. Mott,Patrick Maes,Vanessa Corby-Harris +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that stored pollen is not evolved for microbially mediated nutrient conversion, but is a preservative environment due primarily to added honey, nectar, bee secretions and properties of pollen itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet‐related gut bacterial dysbiosis correlates with impaired development, increased mortality and Nosema disease in the honeybee (Apis mellifera)
Patrick Maes,Pedro A. P. Rodrigues,Randy Oliver,Brendon M. Mott,Kirk E. Anderson,Kirk E. Anderson +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that typically occurring alterations in diet quality play a significant role in colony health and the establishment of a dysbiotic gut microbiome and a systemic host effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin and effect of Alpha 2.2 Acetobacteraceae in honey bee larvae and description of Parasaccharibacter apium gen. nov., sp. nov.
Vanessa Corby-Harris,Vanessa Corby-Harris,Lucy A. Snyder,Melissa R. Schwan,Patrick Maes,Patrick Maes,Quinn S. McFrederick,Kirk E. Anderson,Kirk E. Anderson +8 more
TL;DR: Honey bee-derived Alpha 2.2 bacteria are not gut bacteria but are prolific in the crop-HG-RJ-larva niche, passed to the developing brood through nurse worker feeding behavior, and the name Parasaccharibacter apium is proposed for this bacterial symbiont of bees in the genus Apis.
