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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

New evidence reveals that behavior, including hive mentality or groupthink, may be predetermined by genetics. Generally, we consider behavior to be learned. By interacting with the world, different ...

EPFL researchers are developing robotic beehive frames that help locate honey stores inside of beehives over time, without relying on cameras. The aim is to develop new observation tools to study ...

Unique video from within beehives provides special insight into honey bee behaviors, according to a study published March 17, 2021 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Paul Siefert from ...

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 ...
