From fundamental biological units as tiny as genes to complex societies, ecological systems rely on cooperation. All manner ...

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 ...

Bumble bees may overpower invasive Argentine ants in one-on-one fights, but those victories come at a hidden cost.

Now that scientists have determined the complete genetic sequence of the honeybee, researchers are probing some mysteries of the bee's existence, such as how a bee's genes control its behavior. Some ...

As Earth.com reports, rising temperatures and pollutants in the air affect how bees buzz. The action is a method of communication and a means of pollinating certain plants. As Charlie Woodrow, a ...

"Understanding how bees respond to environmental change is critical because their behavior underpins pollination, which supports healthy ecosystems and food production. Our results help fill a gap in ...

CINCINNATI (Scott Dimmich) -- People may consider bees to be nothing more than pests, but consider this: honey bee pollination is responsible about one in every three bites of food in our diets. In ...

Researchers at Durham University, in collaboration with international partners, have developed a robotic system that allows for continuous, long-term observation of honeybee colonies. The robotic ...

In late summer last year my doctor prescribed a monthlong course of antibiotics for an infection. Medicines like antibiotics are great at wiping out bacterial infections. The problems is that these ...

Bee behavior 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 ...
