Seasonal gut microbiota dynamics and colony performance under stationary and short-distance migratory beekeeping in Apis mellifera ligustica

Honey bee gut microbiota play important roles in host nutrition, immune regulation, and health, and their composition can vary in response to environmental conditions, diet, seasonality, and beekeeping management. In this two-year field study, we investigated seasonal variation in the gut bacterial communities of Ap...
