A computer science team has developed a sensor-based technology that could revolutionize commercial beekeeping by reducing colony losses and lowering labor costs. The technology uses low-cost heat ...

Honeybees are intriguing. Worker bees, who perform all the hive-keeping chores, are female. Males, also known as drones, have only one function: to mate with the queen. A study in Australia, where ...

Honey bees are well known for maintaining the temperature inside their hives at an optimal level. This precise temperature control is crucial for the healthy development of young bees and the overall ...

Although honey bees have the ability to regulate hive temperatures, new research published in Ecological and Evolutionary Physiology shows that extreme summer heat can overwhelm these critical ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers found that longer autumns with good flying weather for bees raise the chances of colony collapse in the upcoming spring, according to a study published in the journal ...

Honey bees can normally keep their hives perfectly climate-controlled, but extreme heat can overwhelm their defenses. During a scorching Arizona summer, researchers found that high temperatures caused ...

A UC Riverside computer science team has developed a sensor-based technology that could revolutionize commercial beekeeping by reducing colony losses and lowering labor costs. Called the Electronic ...
