As Earth.com reports, rising temperatures and pollutants in the air affect how bees buzz. The action is a method of communication and a means of pollinating certain plants. As Charlie Woodrow, a ...

Researchers at Durham University, in collaboration with international partners, have developed a robotic system that allows for continuous, long-term observation of honeybee colonies. The robotic ...

EPFL researchers are developing robotic beehive frames that help locate honey stores inside of beehives over time, without relying on cameras. The aim is to develop new observation tools to study ...

ENCINO, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- There is a serious aggressive bees problem in parts of Southern California. One city, Pasadena, is hiring a bee expert to deal with the vicious swarms of bees, and ...

Researchers investigate how the complex, cooperative behavior of honey bees (Apis mellifera) is genetically programmed so that it can be passed on to subsequent generations. They found an answer in ...

“Human beings and honey bees are almost the same word.” According to Prof. Thomas Seeley, the Horace White Professor in Biology Emeritus, in addition to these phonetic similarities, honey bees also ...

Research from Monash University explores how rising temperatures and growing urban environments can affect behavior in native Australian bees and the European honeybee. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

True altruism is rare behavior in animals, but a new study has found that honey bees display this trait. Additionally, they found that an evolutionary battle of genetics may determine the parent they ...

Bee behavior The insect foraging (for) gene encodes a cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) that affects foraging behavior. In Drosophila two different for alleles have been found, and the two ...

New evidence reveals that behavior, including hive mentality or groupthink, may be predetermined by genetics. Generally, we consider behavior to be learned. By interacting with the world, different ...

(CNN) — Contrary to popular depictions of bee nests as large, intricate hives that hang from trees, the majority of bee species — about 90% — are actually solitary and build their nests in the ground ...
