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 ...

Bees can get drunk from fermented nectar, and guard bees may eject intoxicated foragers to protect the hive from harm.

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new computer vision system for automated analysis of animal movement — honey bee activities, in particular — is expected to accelerate animal behavior research, which also has implications for ...

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 ...
