TED演讲稿。蜜蜂如何维持人象之间的和平 How bees can keep the peace between elephants and humans With more innovation, and perhaps with some more empathy towards each other, I do believe we can move from a state of conflict with elephants to true coexistence. ...
All of these abilities help bees find and recognize flowers, which produce the pollen they use for protein and the nectar they use for energy. A solitary bee's life and the life of her young depend on her ability to find food, gather it and return it to the nest. For a scouting ...

IoT-enabled sensors embedded in hives will be able to record and transfer data to organizations that manage bees. Once they have this data, they can use software applications to assess the health of their pollinators. Other apps can help them track bee populations, track bee movements, and mo...

Some studies have shown that cockroaches, while hardier than humans, are more susceptible to radiation than other insects [source: ABC]. However, others believe that since roaches' cells do not constantly divide the way people's cells do, they will be more likely to survive [source: Kunkel]...
Previous research has shown that the brain of humans and other animals follow certain rules known as psychophysical laws. Single brain neurons do not obey the laws, but the whole brain does. Similarly, this study found that even if single bees do not obey these laws, the superorganism, i.e...
What comes to mind when someone mentions bees or wasps or ants? Do you recoil a little bit at memories of painful stings or ruined picnics? Would you feel differently if you knew that those creatures may benefit humans more than any other insect group? With more than 150,000 named species...
T he United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates bees pollinate about $15 billion worth of apples and peaches each year in the United States alone.So, we 21st-century humans not only takenotice, but also start trying to fir the problem. It's infeasible that we give every bee...
