The findings will be used to help researchers determine how traits, characteristics and color impact behavior. Recently discovered genetic knowledge of two nuisance western honey bee subspecies will ...

Recently discovered genetic knowledge of two nuisance western honey bee subspecies will help commercial and hobby beekeepers. A new UF/IFAS study identified genetic characteristics relevant to the ...

In a Caribbean cave, researchers discovered hundreds of fossils with bee nests within them. It is the first time this behavior has been recorded, a new study finds.

Unique video from within beehives provides special insight into honey bee behaviors, according to a new study. Unique video from within beehives provides special insight into honey bee behaviors, ...

Are drunk bees a thing? According to this Instagram post, it’s actually possible for bees to be bounced at the hive entrance ...

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 ...

As a hobbyist beekeeper, I'm always excited to come across papers on bee biology. Bees are fascinating to me largely because of their eusociality, meaning that most bees never reproduce but instead ...

Jones is fascinated by the push and pull of evolution—how a species' brain and behavior shape the evolution of traits in organisms around them, and vice versa. Currently, she's investigating the ...

Honey bees, packed together in their hive, are vulnerable to infection from viruses. Fred Zwicky Honey bees are known for running a tight ship. Their hexagonal honeycombs make the most mathematically ...

Long-range tracking technology will help researchers understand bee behavior. Kew Gardens in London is mapping bee behavior using tiny trackers mounted to their bodies. Kew Gardens — -- Here's ...
