A metagenomic survey of microbes in honey bee colony collapse disorder
In colony collapse disorder (CCD), honey bee colonies inexplicably lose their workers. CCD
has resulted in a loss of 50 to 90% of colonies in beekeeping operations across the United …

Socialized medicine: individual and communal disease barriers in honey bees
Honey bees are attacked by numerous parasites and pathogens toward which they present
a variety of individual and group-level defenses. In this review, we briefly introduce the many …

Nosema ceranae is a long-present and wide-spread microsporidian infection of the European honey bee (Apis mellifera) in the United States
Y Chen, JD Evans, IB Smith, JS Pettis - Journal of invertebrate pathology, 2008 - Elsevier
Honey bee samples collected between 1995 and 2007 from 12 states were examined for
the presence of Nosema infections. Our results showed that Nosema ceranae is a wide-spread …
