Scientists are using tiny QR codes to track honey bee movements and gather groundbreaking insights into their foraging habits ...

Researchers have attached tiny QR codes to hundreds of honey bees in an effort to track the insects' foraging habits.

Scientists have used tracking devices to start solving the mystery of how far bees travel from the hive in search of pollen.

This is a kind of bee dance by one bee that gives other bees information on where food sources are located. By decoding the waggle dance, researchers can get good estimates of how far bees fly.

Previous studies suggest that honey bees can forage up to 6.2 miles ... food sources with each other through the so-called “waggle dance.” Now, the team is working with researchers from ...

Entomologists are gluing tiny QR codes on honey bees to better track the pollinators’ travel habits and life cycles. In doing ...

Certain areas of rural Pennsylvania and New York are home to thousands of honey bees, which have undergone an interesting scientific procedure— they have been equipped with tiny QR codes on their ...

The majority of the bee trips logged were between one to four minutes long, primarily for the purposes of checking the weather or excretion.

The researchers are also studying the bees' "waggle dance," which is a series of movements used by bees to communicate where food can be found. Penn State is now collaborating with researchers at ...
