You’re a bee, and your favourite flower is out of nectar. What do you do?
We’re making life tough for insects – and not just by swatting them away with a newspaper.
The Varroa mite is here to stay. This will have wide-ranging impacts on beekeeping and the crops that rely on honey bee pollination in Australia.
But pesticides and climate change are threatening moths’ future.
Native common wildflowers provide large amounts of pollen and nectar for insects – but many are undervalued by the public.
Feral honeybees have become a major problem in Australia. It’s time to develop effective and practical control measures.
The surprising frequency of bees on coins through history shows the enduring importance to human societies of our buzzing companions.
Picking the correct flowers is a crucial job for honey bees, so it’s no wonder they are incredibly efficient at it. But how can such little brains do it?
Honeybees have the potential to cause damage to the structure of homes. The honey and wax produced by bees can melt under certain circumstances, like when the colony dies or during hot weather.
There’s a lot of enthusiasm for wildflower fields and bug hotels. But before introducing these insect-saving measures, we need to better understand when they help – and when they don’t.
Australia is the last continent to be invaded by the dangerous honey bee parasite, and has an opportunity to be the first to eradicate it.
The optimal trade-off between restoring habitat and crop production hinges on pollinators. A new study shows giving pollinators more natural habitat on the farm leads to big increases in production.
We all know bees are vital pollinators. But they’re also art critics, social learners, dancers and so much more.
As we approach the start of gardening season, it’s a good time to ask some questions about what to plant and who gets to plant.
Scientists are learning amazing things about bees’ sensory perception and mental capabilities.
Instead of focusing their limited time, energy and finances in effective interventions in their gardens, many individual gardeners are falling prey to greenwashing.
Before you reach for the weed killer, spare a thought for struggling pollinators.
From New York to Tokyo, Melbourne to Venice – honeybee hives have revealed the unique genetic signatures of cities, even providing insights into human health.
The waggle dance is performed by forager bees to convey important information about food sources.
