McGill University researchers have developed an AI-powered method to verify the origin of honey, ensuring that what's on the label matches what's in the jar. The breakthrough, published in Analytical Chemistry, offers a potential ...
Beekeepers in the United States lost more than 55% of managed colonies last year—the highest loss rate since the Apiary Inspectors of America began determining them in 2011.
A new study led by NatureServe reveals that more than 22% of native pollinators in North America are at an elevated risk of extinction. This first-of-its-kind, taxonomically diverse assessment evaluated nearly 1,600 species—including ...
Cornell University bee experts are analyzing samples of bees and related material to help identify the cause of unprecedented managed honey bee losses this winter.
Researchers say Australia is in a unique position to prepare native species for the impacts of the Varroa destructor—a mite now on our shores after decimating honeybee populations in other parts of the world.
A study of Asian hornets has found about 1,400 different species in their guts.
Two common gut parasites have been found to alter the behavior and physiology of honeybees in ways that could harm the health and productivity of entire colonies.
As far as animals go, honeybees are world-class dancers. While not as deep and complex as a Super Bowl half-time show, the bees' moves, known as the "waggle" dance, convey very specific food foraging instructions to their ...
Managed honey bees have the potential to affect native bee populations when they are introduced to a new area, but a study led by researchers at Penn State suggests that under certain conditions, the native bees can bounce ...
Picture writing the numbers 1 to 5 in a horizontal line, from smallest to largest. Where did you put 1? If you placed 1 on the left and 5 on the right, you share this preference with most humans.
