Viruses spread from honey bees to wild bees through shared flowers, threatening pollination and plant communities.

A new study led by the University of Oxford in collaboration with Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, University of Greenwich, and the Technical University of Denmark could provide a cost-effective and ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough food supplement that could help save honeybees from devastating declines. By engineering yeast to produce six essential sterols found in pollen, researchers ...

Researchers have developed a new, artificial supplement that can deliver crucial nutrients known as sterols to honeybee colonies and promote survival of larvae. Annice Lyn / Getty Images It’s not a ...

The vegetative parts of mushrooms may hold the cure to viruses that kill bees. Honey bees may derive health benefits from the certain parts of mushrooms, giving them a chance to combat viruses that ...

Joe Wince inspects a dying hive of bees that returned to their hive following the death of the colony’s queen. LIMA — A routine inspection of the honeybee hives at JK Orchard and Farm turned to ...

Nutritionally complete food for honeybees (Apis mellifera) has been generated by engineering yeast to produce rare but essential sterol molecules found in pollen. Honeybee colonies fed with the ...

Every year on 20 May, we celebrate World Bee Day to remind everyone how important bees are. Bees help plants grow by moving pollen between flowers. This is called pollination, and it helps almost 90% ...

Managed honey bees have the potential to affect native bee populations when they are introduced to a new area, but a new study suggests that, under certain conditions, the native bees can bounce back ...

Hundreds of flatbed loads of honey bees are trucked into Washington every spring, enabling the production of apples, cherries, pears and berries in the state. The pollinators are estimated to add at ...
