Abstract
Honeybee is certainly one of the most familiar flying insects of terrestrial habitats. Honeybees are critically important in the environment, sustaining biodiversity and providing essential pollination for a wide range of crops and wild plants. Extensive losses of honeybee colonies in recent years are becoming a major cause of concern. These social insects continuously face threats (diseases, climate change, and management practices) that weaken their health. In this chapter, we will focus on the western honeybee A. mellifera, focusing on gut symbionts, their functions and role on honeybee healthI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
