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 ...

A computer science team has developed a sensor-based technology that could revolutionize commercial beekeeping by reducing colony losses and lowering labor costs. The technology uses low-cost heat ...

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 ...

Commercial beekeepers in Texas know an acceptable loss of bees can be between 13% and 17% from perennial factors like disease or insects, but they have seen a nearly 66% decrease in bee colony ...

Honey bees can normally keep their hives perfectly climate-controlled, but extreme heat can overwhelm their defenses. During a scorching Arizona summer, researchers found that high temperatures caused ...

During a cool fall sunset in North Dakota, forklifts buzz around the base of a flatbed trailer, loading pallets. Their cargo, multicolored boxes that look like filing cabinets, buzzes, too. Each box ...

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 ...
