Bee-fungus associations are common, and while most studies focus on entomopathogens, emerging evidence suggests that bees associate with a variety of symbiotic fungi that can influence bee behavior and health. Here, we review nonpathogenic fungal taxa associated with different bee species and bee-related habitats. We synthesize results of studies examining fungal effects on bee behavior, development, survival, and fitness. We find that fungal communities differ across habitats, with some groups restricted mostly to flowers (Metschnikowia), while others are present almost exclusively in stored provisions (Zygosaccharomyces). Starmerella yeasts are found in multiple habitats in association with many bee species. Bee species differ widely in the abundance and identity of fungi hosted. Functional studies suggest that yeasts affect bee foraging, development, and pathogen interactions, though few bee and fungal taxa have been examined in this context. Rarely, fungi are obligately beneficial symbionts of bees, whereas most are facultative bee associates with unknown or ecologically contextual effects. Fungicides can reduce fungal abundance and alter fungal communities associated with bees, potentially disrupting bee-fungi associations. We recommend that future study focus on fungi associated with non-honeybee species and examine multiple bee life stages to document fungal composition, abundance, and mechanistic effects on bees.
蜂-真菌共生关系很常见,尽管大多数研究都集中在昆虫病原体上,但新出现的证据表明,蜜蜂与多种共生真菌有关,这些真菌会影响蜜蜂的行为和健康。在这里,我们回顾了与不同蜜蜂物种和与蜜蜂有关的栖息地相关的非病原真菌类群。我们综合了研究真菌对蜜蜂行为、发育、生存和适应度影响的结果。我们发现,真菌群落因栖息地而异,有些群主要局限于花朵(麦氏管酵母),而另一些群则几乎只存在于储存的食物中(德巴利酵母属)。星酵母在与许多蜜蜂物种相关的多个栖息地中被发现。蜜蜂物种在宿主真菌的丰度和种类上差异很大。功能研究表明,酵母会影响蜜蜂的觅食、发育和病原体相互作用,尽管在这种情况下,很少有蜜蜂和真菌类群被研究过。很少有真菌是蜜蜂必需的有益共生体,而大多数真菌是与蜜蜂有共生关系的兼性共生体,其生态影响尚不清楚。杀菌剂会降低与蜜蜂相关的真菌丰度并改变其群落组成,可能会破坏蜜蜂-真菌共生关系。我们建议未来的研究集中在非蜜蜂物种相关的真菌上,并检查多个蜜蜂生命阶段,以记录真菌的组成、丰度和对蜜蜂的机制影响。
