Honey bees are vital pollinators and can be used to monitor the landscape. Consequently, interest in mounting technologies onto bees to track foraging behaviors is increasing. The barrier to entry is steep, in part because the methodology for fastening tags to bees, and the success rates, are ...
Honey bees are crucial pollinators for agricultural and natural ecosystems, but are experiencing heavy mortality in North America and Europe due to a complex suite of factors. Understanding the relative importance of each factor would enable beekeepers t

On the other hand, the keeping of honey bees offers one a “tangible connection to the wild.” If you’re willing to make the effort, the honey bee can help to connect you to Nature, and to the joy of experiencing how this fascinating social insect manages to eke out a living....
” developed by a father/son team of Australian beekeepers. The device consists of an arrangement of molded plastic parts that act as foundation upon which the bees build honey combs, but which can then be shifted by the turn of a handle to break open the cells of ripe honey and allow ...
Similarly, although 4 genes were identified as nurse bee-specific target genes (3 nurse bee-specific peaks including 1 located at an overlapping region ofLOC409670andLOC113219046on the honey bee genome), none of them were differentially expressed between forager and nurse bees (Fig.3E, labeled "...
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...
