This study examines how pesticide exposure and RNA virus loadings affect the honey bee gut microbiome across Canadian agroecosystems, identifying consistent bacterial-virus and pesticide-microbe associations.

The paper uses tissue-resolved proteomics to analyze how pesticide and pathogen stressors affect honey bee tissues across crop ecosystems, finding stable tissue-specific patterns and crop-associated changes.

This study uses airborne DNA collected from honey bee colonies to assess foraging behavior and colony health by analyzing plant, fungal, and microbial DNA.

This study uses honey bee-collected pollen metabarcoding to infer plant community phenology, showing it can detect flowering onset but not duration.

This study shows that honey bee foraging preferences influence exposure to different stressor syndromes, with diverse foraging linked to pathogens and limited foraging linked to xenobiotics.

The paper examines how climate factors influence the occurrence and intensity of three honey bee pathogens across Canada, identifying key climatic predictors for each disease agent.

The study investigates pathogen prevalence in honey bees during highbush blueberry pollination, finding higher sacbrood virus levels in bees near blueberry fields post-pollination.

The paper presents a draft genome assembly of the alkali bee and identifies genes under selection and population genetic patterns.
