Although not our primary focus (so far), our lab has worked a little on microbes associated with honeybees, including: 1. Effect of bacteria and yeast on honeybee foraging preference https://t.co/33cXKZIL8K
and the plot thickens! So interesting @ana_montcast Bees may also avoid contaminated nectar in some cases... https://t.co/PzFpPVN2Vh
PLOS ONE:Honey Bees Avoid Nectar Colonized by 3 Bacterial Species,But Not by a Yeast Species, Isolated from Bee Gut https://t.co/aUwyANwbPx
Bees easily fooled; artificial flowers, yellow sunflower-shaped paper with 1.5 ml centrifuge tube cap & florist wire http://t.co/2zBZMEl1oP
Bees seem to avoid nectar with bacteria but not yeast. I liked the artificial flower arrays #PLOSONE: http://t.co/2pxRiBecbx
Interesting research paper from Stanford on honey bees and avoidance of nectar colonized by certain bacteria. http://t.co/4uLg6jLJL1

Gotta love the flowers created for this - honey bee attraction to nectar inoculated with different microbes @plosone http://t.co/ejsKZARjmK

cool paper from fukami group: rare bee gut bacteria also colonize nectar & alter bee foraging…do flowers care? http://t.co/X5aH6qGDrx
