Differences in honey bee bacterial diversity andcomposition in agricultural and pristine environments–afield study
Muñoz Colmenero, Marta; Baroja Careaga, Igor ; Kovačić, Marin; Filipi, Janja; Puškadija, Zlatko; Kezić, Nikola; Estomba Recalde, Miren Andone ; Büchler, Ralph; Zarraonaindia Martínez, Iratxe (Springer, 2020-07)Agrochemicals and biocides are suspected to cause a dysbiosis of honey bee microbiota, decreasing colonies ability to respond to the environment. As a first step to investigate agriculture and beekeeping impact, hives ... -
