Honey bees News

In the study done on Cape honey bee, found in South Africa it was found that the gene has allowed worker bees to lay eggs that only produce females instead of the normal males that other honey bees do.

Using a combination of robotics and hi-tech components, Vignesh has developed a Bee Saver Bot that removes honey bees -- the species primarily responsible for pollination and honey production around the world -- safely and carefully without harming them or humans.

Bee vision has been studied ever since the pioneering research of Karl von Frisch in 1914, which reported bees' ability to see colours through a clever set of training experiments.

These signals have different effects depending upon type of danger and the context.

The larvae were from a variety of queens, with sister larvae divided between high- and low-aggression colonies.

A new study found that bees may select caffeinated nectar over an uncaffeinated, though otherwise equal-quality alternative.
