CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Even as larvae, honey bees are tuned in to the social culture of the hive, becoming more or less aggressive depending on who raises them, researchers report in the journal ...
The molecular mechanisms driving honey bee fate have been revealed. Despite having identical genetic instructions, female honey bee larvae can develop into either long-lived reproductive queens or ...
Queen bees emit a pheromone that attracts worker bees — the queen's daughters — to her side. The differentiation of bee larvae into either workers or queens has baffled researchers, and now a team led ...
Researchers have identified a specific bacterial microbe that, when fed to honey bee larvae, can reduce the effects of nutritional stress on developing bees. Indiana University researchers have ...
A team of scientists at Oregon State University has recently received more than $4 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to lead a study to understand a disease threatening honeybees. The ...
Indiana University researchers identified a microbe that may help protect honey bees against poor nutrition, which can worsen stresses that cause declining populations. The team of researchers ...
AUSTIN, Texas - Honey bee populations have sharply declined around the world in recent years, confounding scientists and posing a grave threat to agriculture. Now, University of Texas researchers may ...
