Research Progress On The Composition And Function Of Bee Gut Microorganisms
Honeybees are an essential part of global food production and have great economic and ecological importance.Unfortunately,their survival is at risk due to agricultural intensification,habitat destruction,pesticide misuse,and other environmental pressures.Studies have shown that the microbes in a bee's gut have co-evolved with them for a long time,and play a major role in metabolism,growth,immunity,and behavior.This article reviews current research on the composition and distribution of bee gut microorganisms and their functions on the host,to better understand the connection between the two and provide guidance for using gut microorganisms to maintain bee health.
