Bees and their hives appear in religious imagery and royal regalia in multiple cultures, and people around the world use honey and pollen in folk medicine and religious observances. The idea that there is something divine or mystical about bees isn't confined to religion and mythology. Until ...

And now I know why pollen sticks to bees (I always thought it just got rubbed into their fur). Thanks again for another wonderful nature shot! Shirley (Choosing Voluntary Simplicity) I thought that about the electricity and pollen was interesting, too, and I suppose it makes sense that ...
Sweet success: how bees choose which pollen to collectdoi:10.1126/science.aag0658Ben PankoScience
Our honeybees are perhaps the most important pollinator operating in the Canadian agricultural industry. Pollination is, quite simply, transferring grains of pollen from one plant to another, to fertilize the ovaries of flowers. While some plants rely on wind to provide pollination, and others are...
In the absence of bees and other pollinators in space, astronauts manually pollinate plants using small brushes or by shaking the plants to distribute pollen. This ensures that flowering plants can produce fruits and seeds. Can space-farmed plants taste different from Earth-grown ones? Yes, plant...
We all know that mowing your lawn can help your garden look neat and tidy, but letting your grass grow a bit unruly can actually help bees as it gives them a place to feed and shelter. When you do need to mow your grass, try doing it less often and cutting less closely. Be merci...
Also, the queen leaves the nest to gather pollen and nectar that she uses to feed to the larval (grub) stage members of her nest. As the first generation completes their development into winged adults, these nest members called workers will assume the duties of nest maintenance, construction ...
The reason for the different body types leads us into another difference between wasps and bees: feeding. Bees are pollinators, spending much of their lives visiting various plants and flowers to gather and distribute pollen. They also feed nectar and pollen to their developing young. Their hairy...
When they carry nectar within their pollen pouch, it mixes with a specialized enzyme. After returning to the hive, the worker bee transfers the nectar from her tongue to another worker's tongue to further break down the nectar. Bees add enzymes to the nectar which help break down the co...
