Gut microbiota influences foraging onset without affecting division of labor and associated physiological hallmarks in honeybees

This study shows that gut microbiota in honeybees affects the onset of foraging but not division of labor or associated physiological traits.

The gut microbiota affects the social network of honeybees

This study shows that gut microbiota manipulation in honeybees increases social interaction rates and specialization, linked to brain metabolite and transcriptional changes.
