Honey bee queens reared inside cells built from ordinary worker wax develop smaller bodies and die at sharply higher rates before reaching adulthood, according to a peer-reviewed study published in ...
A new version of the BEEHAVE honey bee model replaces the fixed egg-laying curve with an emergent feedback loop linking ...
A child’s simple curiosity about why some bees live in different-looking cells has helped crack open a layer of honey bee biology that scientists had overlooked for decades. Researchers at the ...
Despite having identical genetic instructions, female honey bee larvae can develop into either long-lived reproductive queens or short-lived sterile workers who help rear their sisters rather than lay ...
As we transition to warmer weather in the austral summer, many changes take place. Domestic dogs and cats may shed winter coats. Fish such as bass and trout prepare fat reserves for migrations to ...
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 ...
A queen bee may be shaped by more than its famous royal diet. “The discovery is very cool and thought-provoking,” says Thomas Seeley, a biologist at Cornell University who was not involved in the work ...
Queen bee larvae develop in unique peanut-shaped cells. Piscisgate via Wikimedia Commons under CC BY-SA 4.0 It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a highly specialized beehive chamber to ...
(Beyond Pesticides, September 24, 2025) A novel study of chronic toxicity of the neonicotinoid insecticide thiamethoxam to honey bees (Apis mellifera), published in Insects, finds sublethal effects ...
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 ...
