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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have created a system to help beekeepers monitor and analyze the health of their beehives and take corrective actions to prevent colony collapse -- when a majority of the worker bees ...

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 ...

Honey bees are highly social creatures that live in large family groups. Each group or colony is well-organized, with three types of adult bees: a queen, worker bees, and drones. Worker bees are all ...

Beekeeping is quite the rewarding hobby. There’s delicious honey and useful wax to be had, plus you get the honor of knowing that you’re helping to keep the bee population surviving and thriving. [Ben ...

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 ...
