<i>Enterococcus faecium</i> Regulates Honey Bee Developmental Genes

Honey bees provide essential pollination services to the terrestrial ecosystem and produce important agricultural products. As a beneficial lactic acid bacterium, <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> is often supplied as a probiotic for honey bees and other animals. However, the underlying mechan...
