General information
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are one of the most crucial pollinating insect species worldwide. The health status of honeybees has become an essential concern in many countries. The importance of the gut microbiota in regulating honeybee health has become increasingly evident in recent years. Unfortunately, different factors can effect on the gut microbiome and be a reason of development of different disorders. It is believed that the ecological conditions and geographic location of Armenia led to the development of unique associations—symbiosis—in the gastrointestinal tract of honeybees. It was no any results about the investigation of the bacterial composition of the microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract of Armenian honeybees. Therefore, the aim of this work is investigation of gut microbiome of Armenian honeybee and detection of the effect of different seasons and insecticides on the microbiome composition during the different development stages.
