Abstract: Social bees, which make up around 90% of the entire bee population, congregate and work inside a colony. In scientific research, they are frequently underrepresented. The goal of this study is to determine the pollen species found in beehives as well as the bacteria found in bee stomachs. The Western honeybee, Apis mellifera, was used to isolate genomic DNA (gDNA) from pollen and bee intestines. Bees were grabbed when they emerged from the honeycomb cell, dissected, and analyzed to see if any hazardous bacteria were present. The next step is to see if the bacteria is contributing to the loss of honeybee colonies. This article will provide an outline of the research, including how it was carried out and next actions.
