UNIQUE HONEY BEE (APIS MELLIFERA) HIVE COMPONENT-BASED COMMUNITIES AS DETECTED BY A HYBRID OF PHOSPHOLIPID FATTY-ACID AND FATTY-ACID METHYL ESTER ANALYSES.

Unique honey bee (Apis mellifera) hive component-based communities as detected by a hybrid of phospholipid fatty-acid and fatty-acid methyl ester analyses.

Microbial communities (microbiomes) are associated with almost all metazoans, including the honey bee Apis mellifera.Honey bees are social insects, maintaining complex hive systems composed of a variety of integral components including bees, comb, propolis, honey, and stored pollen.Given that the different components within read more hives can be p
