A recent experiment on an Italian island has exposed an unsettling reality—honeybee hives may be reducing wild bee populations by monopolizing floral resources. When researchers temporarily grounded honeybees, wild bees flourished, highlighting the unintended ecological impact of managed hives.
In a groundbreaking fusion of nature and technology, researchers are training honeybees to assist in search and rescue missions in Joshua Tree National Park. These tiny yet powerful navigators use their innate ability to detect water—found in lost hikers’ sweat—to lead responders to those in need. Outfitted with miniature GPS trackers, the bees are proving to be an effective and low-cost alternative to traditional rescue methods.
What if we could track honeybees the way we track packages? Scientists are now using QR codes to monitor thousands of bees in real-time, revealing surprising insights into their lifespans, travel distances, and foraging habits. This groundbreaking research could change the future of bee conservation—and even the organic food industry.
A shocking crisis is unfolding among U.S. honeybee colonies, with beekeepers reporting devastating losses of over 50%—some nearing 100%. As pollination season ramps up, experts are scrambling to uncover the cause of these mysterious die-offs, which could impact food security nationwide.
Pollination doesn’t sleep when the sun goes down! Bats, moths, beetles, and other nocturnal pollinators work tirelessly under the moonlight to sustain ecosystems and crops. These nighttime heroes face significant threats, but with a few small actions, you can support their survival.
Honey bees are the unsung heroes of U.S. agriculture, supporting specialty crops like almonds and apples. With 60-75% of commercial hives traveling to California's almond bloom, these pollinators follow a complex migratory path to sustain crops nationwide.
High fertilizer use is halving pollinator populations and reducing flowers, according to a 150-year-long study. Learn how sustainable practices can protect biodiversity.
