Protein Booster Could Help Preventing Honeybee Colony Loss
Honey bees survive winters in cold climates by forming a thermoregulating cluster around the honey stored in the colony. Recent research showed overwintering colony losses are linked to a specific metabolic pathway connected to how bees apportion their energy resources. (Jay Evans and Judy Chen, ARS, NewsX/Bee)

Bees Memorise Habitat Landscape, Study Shows
Picture shows a harmonic radar transponder attached to the thorax of a forager honeybee, undated. Bees retain a memory of their home area's most significant landscape elements to navigate in uncharted territory, according to new research. (E Bullinger, U Greggers, R Menzel, NewsX/Bee)

Pesticides Reduce Pollination As Bees Sense Electric Field Changes
Picture shows artist’s impression of bumblebee interacting with flower, undated. Pollinators are less likely to land on flowers treated with pesticides as they are capable of sensing electric field alterations around the plant, according to a study by scientists in England.
