The insect foraging (for) gene encodes a cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) that affects foraging behavior. In Drosophila two different for alleles have been found, and the two alleles affect ...

Unique video from within beehives provides special insight into honey bee behaviors, according to a new study. Unique video from within beehives provides special insight into honey bee behaviors, ...

Recently discovered genetic knowledge of two nuisance western honey bee subspecies will help commercial and hobby beekeepers. A new UF/IFAS study identified genetic characteristics relevant to the ...

Bees can get drunk from fermented nectar, and guard bees may eject intoxicated foragers to protect the hive from harm.

Jones is fascinated by the push and pull of evolution—how a species' brain and behavior shape the evolution of traits in organisms around them, and vice versa. Currently, she's investigating the ...

As a hobbyist beekeeper, I'm always excited to come across papers on bee biology. Bees are fascinating to me largely because of their eusociality, meaning that most bees never reproduce but instead ...

In late summer last year my doctor prescribed a monthlong course of antibiotics for an infection. Medicines like antibiotics are great at wiping out bacterial infections. The problems is that these ...

Long-range tracking technology will help researchers understand bee behavior. Kew Gardens in London is mapping bee behavior using tiny trackers mounted to their bodies. Kew Gardens — -- Here's ...

The findings will be used to help researchers determine how traits, characteristics and color impact behavior. Recently discovered genetic knowledge of two nuisance western honey bee subspecies will ...
