So far, no lifetime history observations have been reported for all bees of a colony. In a previous work we introduced a recording setup customized to track up to 4000 marked bees over several weeks. Due to detection and decoding errors of the bee markers, linking the correct correspondences...
Here, we performed a pan-European assessment of the virosphere of 12 bee communities, each consisting of three bee groups: bumble bees, solitary bee species and sympatric managed honey bees, on a continental scale and across different climatic zones (Fig.1). Using an AICc-based multi-model in...

In a honey bee colony there are 3 types of bees. The most common is the worker bee, making up over 95% of the hive population. Worker bees are female honey bees, although with limited reproductive capacity. As their name implies, worker bees do almost all of the maintenance, construction...

Teaching kids about bees and the role that they plan in our world is important, so that they can make decisions that will ensure that we will have a thriving bee population in the future. The more that we can teach kids about nature, animals and even insects, the better. Because what ...
The effect of population demography on worker lifespan thus appears stronger than that of colony size. Repeating our experiment with varied ratios of colony size to numbers of young workers added will allow for disentangling the effect of young workers and colony size. Worker lifespan was ...
destructor levels low by fall, so that colonies are as healthy as possible going into winter, and also because of the population dynamics of V. destructor alongside honey bee colonies – i.e., their presence typically increases as the colony grows and has more brood cycles, since this ...
Pooyanfar's technology is gleaning communication details from sound within the hives with her beehive monitoring system—technology she developed at SFU. She says improving knowledge about honey bee activity is critical, given a 30 per cent decline in the honeybee population over the past decade in...
