This paper introduces a non-invasive method to collect feces from honey bee queens for profiling their gut microbiome and virome, enabling stressor detection and viral screening.

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.
