Temporal, spatial, and parasitic drivers of microbial variation in European honey bees

This study analyzes 1442 European honey bee colonies to identify factors driving microbiome variation, finding that season, year, location, and Varroa destructor load significantly influence microbiome composition.

Ecology and pathogenicity for honey bee brood of recently described Paenibacillus melissococcoides and comparison with Paenibacillus dendritiformis, Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus

This study investigates the pathogenicity of Paenibacillus species toward honey bee brood, finding that P. melissococcoides is an emerging pathogen associated with European foulbrood.
