E pluribus unum: how honey bee bacteria coordinate behaviors

I increased the amount of my pledge. You are so close to your goal, and this is such an important project, that I had to do what I could. Good luck!

This is a new project in this field. I hope you can achieve more and share more process. chromatography service

Best of luck!

Hey Christina - thanks for your support! You can actually find these bacteria all over the hive environment. We are particularly interested in what they are doing when found together - be that within the gut, inside the honey, or on the frames.

🐝🐝 Awesome project! Just curious, how do you collect the microbes from bees' digestive tracks? Are the bees still alive at this stage? How much might the microbial communities shift before or after the bee feeds?

Such an interesting project and so important to our understanding of honey bee health!

keep up the good bee work....
