- W4311034781 abstract "Abstract Honey bees ( Apis mellifera ) may be exposed to a wide variety of chemicals in the environment, including pesticides, antibiotics, and metals. Zinc, for example, is commonly included in fertilizers, pesticides, and feed additives, and is found in agricultural runoff. Honey bees can be exposed to zinc directly or indirectly by consuming zinc-contaminated nectar and pollen. However, there is a paucity of studies addressing the putative effects of zinc on honey bee’s health. In this study, we tested the effects of zinc on honey bee survivorship and gut microbiota. To evaluate survivorship, we exposed bees to six concentrations of zinc (0, 50, 100, 250, 500, or 1000 mg/L) and assessed survival daily for 10 days. To evaluate effects of zinc on gut microbiota, we exposed bees to 5 or 100 mg/L zinc. Bees were sampled before (day 0) and after zinc exposure (days 3, 6, and 9). Abdominal contents underwent DNA extraction and 16S rRNA sequencing (V3-V4) on an Illumina MiSeq. Sequences were filtered and processed through QIIME2 and DADA2. Zinc treatment had minimal effects on bacterial DNA concentrations and absolute cell counts while emerge date (the date a bee emerged from the brood comb) had a significant effect with decreased bacterial concentrations and cell counts observed at later emerge dates. Survival was only minimally impacted (>89% survival) at zinc concentrations up to 100 mg/L. Zinc had limited effects on overall gut microbial composition, diversity, and taxonomic abundances, with the greatest differences noted in the bee group exposed to the higher concentration of zinc (100 mg/L). In this group, several beneficial taxa ( Lactobacillus , Rhizobiaceae, Gilliamella ) were found at reduced abundances, while Paenibacillus , a potentially pathogenic taxa, was found at increased abundances. This suggests that zinc exposure, even at relatively low levels, may negatively impact honey bee health, even if survivorship is not dramatically impacted. Notably, emerge date effects were also observed in microbial composition. These results demonstrate the need to include assessments of honey bee gut microbiota in addition to other metrics of honey bee health and survivorship when evaluating the potential effects of agrochemicals on honey bees" @default.
