The ability for bees to forage for food efficiently is vital to both their fitness and the pollination of wild plants and crops. However, according to a new Perspective, foraging has become ...

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 ...

Insects have evolved remarkably efficient strategies for navigation and foraging, employing a combination of innate behaviours and learned experiences to traverse complex environments. Their ...
