Honey bee husbandry has been optimized throughout the long history of beekeeping and scientific study. Honey bee colonies can be kept in standard Langstroth hives that house one queen, seasonally several thousand males (=drones), brood, and up to 60,000 workers. The large number of readily ava...
and fewer individuals are needed to pollinate a given area compared to honey bees. With few management steps, short activity periods, and fewer bees needed, these bees have minimal negative impacts on the environment. As our scientific and practical knowledge of these species expands, solitary bees...
The scientific name for this bee is Apis (a Latin word that simply means bee). Compared to the 20,000 species of bees, this bee genus contains at least eight different species. The western honey bee is by far the most common, especially for the purpose of making domesticated honey. Her...
Honey bees process nectar into honey by active evaporation on the tongue and passive evaporation involving nest ventilation and fanning behaviour, as well as enzymatic action. The elimination of excess water from nectar carries considerable energetic cos
There are still vast areas of research to be done with Asian honey bees, as the majority of scientific research to date has been performed on the Western honey bee. That is why I come to Thailand and China so often, it's a goldmine for the unknown.' The Fascinating World of Bees Thes...
"Feast Or Famine" is a non-profit educational program focused on improving education and disseminating accurate scientific information to the world. Each program is shot on location and consists of expert interviews from the most respected scientific organizations, thought leaders, and award winning ...
bee flights14,15. More recently, researchers have shown that it’s possible to design custom chips, or Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), to record information about bee movement continuously throughout a foraging flight16,17. Successful design and execution of honey bee tracking with...

In another collaborative study this time with colleagues in Germany–also published in November inNature: Scientific Reports–the researchers have shown how the actual chemistry of the honey bee brain dynamically changes via epigenetic mechanisms when memories are laid down. This identificati...
Viruses are omnipresent, yet the knowledge on drivers of viral prevalence in wild host populations is often limited. Biotic factors, such as sympatric managed host species, as well as abiotic factors, such as climatic variables, are likely to impact vira
