Early Queen Development in Honey Bees: Social Context and Queen Breeder Source Affect Gut Microbiota and Associated Metabolism

Early Queen Development in Honey Bees: Social Context and Queen Breeder Source Affect Gut Microbiota and Associated Metabolism

ABSTRACT The highly social honey bee has dense populations but a significantly reduced repertoire of immune genes relative to solitary species, suggesting a greater reliance on social immunity. Here we investigate immune gene expression and gut microbial succession in queens during colony introducti...
