Research from Monash University explores how rising temperatures and growing urban environments can affect behavior in native ...

Pollen shortages stress honey bees, increasing hive defensiveness & weakening pollination. Research shows limited pollen ...

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 ...

“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 ...

“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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Researchers at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) are collaborating with colleagues from Frankfurt/Main, Oxford and Würzburg to investigate how the complex, cooperative behaviour of honey bees ...
