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 ...

Honey bees infected with a gut parasite smell different, which could allow bee colonies to detect disease and influence ...

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 ...

Bee behavior 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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Honey bees, packed together in their hive, are vulnerable to infection from viruses. Fred Zwicky Honey bees are known for running a tight ship. Their hexagonal honeycombs make the most mathematically ...

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 ...
