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 ...

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 ...

Bees cope with heat better when they’re together. A new study shows social signals can prevent stress responses under extreme ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have created a system to help beekeepers monitor and analyze the health of their beehives and take corrective actions to prevent colony collapse -- when a majority of the worker bees ...

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 ...
