Key pointsHigher temperatures caused European honeybees to slow down their attraction to light, while native Australian bees' light attraction ...

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 ...

Deep inside a Caribbean cave, paleontologists have uncovered a scene that reads like gothic natural history: tiny bees once ...

“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 ...

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 ...

“Little guy looks like me after Thanksgiving dinner,” one Redditor joked in response to a video showing a bee behaving unexpectedly after visiting a sunflower. Saddled with pollen, the bee falls off ...

Is complex social behavior genetically determined? Yes, as a team of biologists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) together with colleagues from Bochum and Paris discovered while studying ...

We've taken bees for granted, and now it's hurting us. The Worcester County Beekeepers Association is helping our hive-bound pollinator friends.

WaggleNet is an innovative student organization that works to expand datasets and research ability regarding bees.

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 alleles affect ...
