Numerous honeybee () products, such as honey, propolis, and bee venom, are used in traditional medicine to prevent illness and promote healing. Therefore, this insect has a huge impact on humans' way of life and the environment. While the population of is large, there is concern that widespread commercialization of beekeeping, combined with environmental pollution and the action of bee pathogens, has caused significant problems for the health of honeybee populations. One of the strategies to preserve the welfare of honeybees is to better understand and protect their natural microbiota. This paper provides a unique overview of the latest research on the features and functioning of . Honeybee microbiome analysis focuses on both the function and numerous factors affecting it. In addition, we present the characteristics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as an important part of the gut community and their special beneficial activities for honeybee health. The idea of probiotics for honeybees as a promising tool to improve their health is widely discussed. Knowledge of the natural gut microbiota provides an opportunity to create a broad strategy for honeybee vitality, including the development of modern probiotic preparations to use instead of conventional antibiotics, environmentally friendly biocides, and biological control agents.
大量的蜜蜂产品，如蜂蜜、蜂胶和蜂毒，在传统医学中被用于预防疾病和促进康复。因此，这种昆虫对人类的生活方式和环境有巨大的影响。虽然蜜蜂的数量庞大，但人们担心养蜂业的广泛商业化，加上环境污染和蜜蜂病原体的作用，已经给蜜蜂种群的健康带来了重大问题。保护蜜蜂福利的策略之一是更好地了解和保护它们的天然微生物群。本文提供了对蜜蜂微生物组特征和功能的最新研究的独特概述。蜜蜂微生物组分析不仅关注功能，还关注影响功能的诸多因素。此外，我们还介绍了乳酸菌（LAB）作为肠道群落重要组成部分的特点及其对蜜蜂健康的特殊有益活动。将益生菌用于蜜蜂作为改善其健康的有前途的工具的想法被广泛讨论。对天然肠道微生物群的了解为创造一种广泛的蜜蜂活力策略提供了机会，包括开发现代益生菌制剂来替代传统抗生素、环保型杀生物剂和生物防治剂。
