“…Lactic acid bacteria isolated from the hive showed inhibition of twenty human and animal pathogens, some were resistant to antibiotics [103,104]. The intestinal microflora of the honeybee has been classified as heteroenzymatic lactic acid bacteria [105]. They also inhibited the growth of the main pathogen of the honey bee-Paenibacillus larvae, which means that the studied lactobacilli have healthy probiotic properties.…”

In recent decades an increase in the use of pesticides to protect plants from pests, diseases and weeds has been observed. There are many studies on the effects of various pesticides on non-target organisms. This review aims to analyze and summarize published scientific data on the effects of pesticides on the animal microbiome. Pesticides can affect various parameters of the animal microbiome, such as the taxonomic composition of bacteria, bacterial biodiversity, and bacterial ratios and modify the microbiome of various organisms from insects to mammals. Pesticide induced changes in the microbiome reducing the animal’s immunity. The negative effects of pesticides could pose a global problem for pollinators. Another possible negative effect of pesticides is the impact of pesticides on the intestinal microbiota of bumblebees and bees that increase the body’s sensitivity to pathogenic microflora, which leads to the death of insects. In addition, pesticides can affect vitality, mating success and characteristics of offspring. The review considers methods for correcting of bee microbiome.

“…Fructophilic lactic acid bacteria are recently discovered sub-group of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that under anaerobic conditions prefer fructose over glucose as a carbon and energy source. They grow well on glucose in the presence of oxygen or when pyruvate or fructose are external electron acceptors (18,23,36,41). These properties distinguish FLAB from other lactic acid bacteria.…”

“…Pentoses are not fermented by FLAB, which suggests the lack of pentose isomerases or epimerases for pentose fermentation (19). All fructophilic lactic acid bacteria catabolize only a limited number of carbohydrates (2-5 out of 49 carbohydrates tested) as a result of a lower number of the genes for carbohydrate metabolism than in other LAB (19,20,22,23,25,41). Furthermore, it is necessary to underline that in Fructobacillus sp.…”

<p>Fructophilic lactic acid bacteria (FLAB) are recently described group of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that prefer fructose instead of glucose as a carbon source. FLAB have been isolated from fructose-rich niches such as flowers, fruits, fermented fruits, and gastrointestinal tracts of insects whose diet is based on fructose. These bacteria are divided into obligate and facultative fructophilc lactobacilli based on biochemical features. All FLAB are heterofermentative microorganisms, which during fermentation of carbohydrates, in addition to lactic acid, produce also acetic acid, and alcohol as end-products. The fructophilic bacteria, inhabiting the honeybee guts positively impact the health of their hosts, improve their longevity, and are promising probiotic candidates. These symbionts of honeybees play a key role in the production of honey by bees and are present in a large number in fresh honey. The combination of osmolarity with antibacterial, and therapeutic properties of these bacteria make fresh honey optimal alternative for future wound healing.</p>

The honey bee microbiota is involved in several important functions, and alterations in the composition could have a severe effect on honey bee health. Among the bacteria identified in the honey bee microbiome are a group of non‐pathogenic honey bee‐specific lactic acid bacteria (hbs‐LAB) that have been shown to inhibit the growth of bacterial pathogens such as Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of American foulbrood (AFB). While P. larvae only causes disease in larvae and not in adult honey bees, there are reports of the pathogen causing changes in the microbiota composition of the adults. The aim of this study was to investigate how AFB in the colony affect the hbs‐LAB composition in adult honey bees. Adult bees were collected from colonies with and without AFB during three outbreaks of AFB in Sweden. The hbs‐LAB was analyzed using qPCR to detect and quantify the number of ten hbs‐LAB (five Lactobacilli, two Apilactobacilli, one Bombilactobacilli, and two Bifidobacterium). The hbs‐LAB composition was compared between AFB outbreaks and depending on the AFB status of the honeybee colony at the time of sampling. The data analyses revealed differences in the abundance of individual hbs‐LAB between outbreaks and an overall difference in bacterial community composition depending on AFB status. Also, a higher hbs‐LAB diversity was observed in samples that were P. larvae culture positive.
