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

Contrary to the behavior of certain other insects, bees don’t actually fly once it’s dark, according to this trending ...

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 ...

Honey bees are among the most cooperative and industrious creatures. Their process of collecting nectar and returning it to the hive is a remarkable example of collective decision-making involving ...

ENCINO, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- There is a serious aggressive bees problem in parts of Southern California. One city, Pasadena, is hiring a bee expert to deal with the vicious swarms of bees, and ...
