Abstract

This work investigated host-microbiome interactions during a crucial developmental stage—the transition from larvae to adults, which is a challenge to both the insect host and its microbiome. Using the honey bee as a tractable model system, we showed that microbiome transfer after emergence overrides any variation in the larval microbiome in honey bees, indicating that larval and adult microbiome stages are effectively decoupled.
