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

Honey bees communicate where the food sources are to other bees in the colony with a physical behavior called the "waggle dance." López-Uribe said researchers spend significant time observing and ...

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.

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

Several hundred bees in rural Pennsylvania and rural New York are sporting tiny QR codes on their backs. More than the latest in apiarian fashion, the little tags serve a scientific purpose ...

The team hypothesized that bees typically forage much closer to their hives, often within one kilometer. This study could refine our understanding of these ranges and influence organic certification ...
