While honeybees are famously difficult to study, altering natural behaviors if any outside influences are sensed, they’re also incredibly susceptible to colony collapse due to the cold. If hive ...

Lifting up the hood of a Beewise hive feels more like you’re getting ready to examine the engine of a car than visit with a few thousand pollinators. The unit — dubbed a BeeHome — is an industrial ...

EPFL researchers are developing robotic beehive frames that help locate honey stores inside of beehives over time, without relying on cameras. The aim is to develop new observation tools to study ...

Attention, all honeybee lovers! Researchers have developed an incredible new system that could help save our fuzzy little friends from colony collapse. And the best part? It involves robots! Yep, you ...

Smart homes decked out with motion sensors, automated lights, and precision thermostats are often considered must-haves in futuristic dwellings. But could they pave the way forward for beehives, too?

Bees play a critical role in our ecosystem and food systems, and it’s no secret that their populations are diminishing. While the cause of bee population decline is ongoing, evidence points to ...

Here’s a bummer of a statistic for you: Around 30% of bee colonies disappear every year. Scientists coined the phrase “colony collapse disorder” (CCD) to describe what’s been a devastating ongoing ...

SANDERSON, Fla. — This bottle of honey may look typical on the outside. But the honey on the inside was actually created by robotic beehives. Founder of World Honey Market, John David Peterson, got ...

(Nanowerk News) The robotic bee replicants home in on the unsuspecting queen of a hive. But unlike the rebellious replicants in the 1982 sci-fi thriller Blade Runner, these ones are here to work.

Honeybees, though tiny, play a huge role in sustaining vegetation across the world. Without bees, the diversity and availability of fresh produce would substantially decline — they are responsible for ...

EU researchers are turning to the world's top pollinator in an attempt to reverse biodiversity loss and help fruit growers. Think of wildlife tracking and what probably comes to mind are documentaries ...
