Life in a honey bee hive is all about cooperating for the collective good.
Honey bees in the most polluted parts of an Indian city were more likely to die sooner and showed clear signs of poor health.
The steep decline in biodiversity is worrying, especially as wild species are important for pollination and pest control.
Scientists and the community are building nests to help save the stunning green carpenter bee from extinction.
New research sheds light on the unsung heroes of pollination.
Victory gardens were popular during wartime, and have made a comeback during the current pandemic.
Are ‘murder hornets’ from Asia invading North America? A Japanese entomologist who’s been stung by one and lived to tell the tale explains what’s true about these predatory insects.
A behavioural science expert, a botanist, an environment media expert and an entomologist suggest ways to connect with nature in your garden.
The value that bats provide to humans by pollinating crops and eating insects is far greater than harm from virus transmission – which is mainly caused by human actions.
Climate change has advanced the arrival of spring by as much as several weeks in some parts of the US. This can mean major crop losses and disconnects between species that need each other to thrive.
