Scientists are one step closer to understanding the recent demise of billions of honey bees after making an important discovery about the transmission of a common bee virus. view more (2008-06-30)
Professor analyzes nuclear receptors in bee genome
Susan Fahrbach, a Wake Forest University biologist, is among the more than 170 researchers who helped decode the honey bee genome. view more (2006-10-27)
Honey-bee products in cancer treatment and prevention
Natural honey-bee products such as propolis, royal jelly, caffeic acid, honey and venom may have applications in cancer treatment and prevention, say Croatian researchers in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture this month. view more (2004-12-02)
ENZYME CONCENTRATIONS AND SKIN DISEASE MAY PREDICT SEVERITY OF REACTIONS TO BEE AND WASP STINGS (p 361)
Raised concentrations of the enzyme tryptase, associated with previously undiagnosed skin disease, may be a predictor of how people will react to bee and wasp stings, reports a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. 5% of adults in Europe and the USA have anaphylactic (hypersensitive) reactions to bee and wasp stings. The severity of... view more... (2001-01-31)
Bee species outnumber mammals and birds combined
Scientists have discovered that there are more bee species than previously thought. In the first global accounting of bee species in over a hundred years, John S. Ascher, a research scientist in the Division of Invertebrate Zoology at the American Museum of Natural History, compiled online species pages and distribution maps for more than 19,200... view more...

Research Upsetting Some Notions about Honey Bees
Genetic research, based on information from the recently released honey bee genome, has toppled some long-held beliefs about the honey bee that colonized Europe and the U.S. view more (2006-12-12)
Virus named as possible factor in honey bee disorder
A comparison of healthy and unhealthy bee colonies points to a virus contributing to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), according to a report being published by the journal Science, at the Science Express web site, on 06 September. Science is published by AAAS, the nonprofit science society. view more (2007-09-07)
Out of Africa: Scientists uncover history of honey bee
"Every honey bee alive today had a common ancestor in Africa" is one conclusion drawn by a team of scientists that probed the origin of the species and the movements of introduced populations, including African "killer" bees in the New World. view more (2006-10-26)
New discovery proves 'selfish gene' exists
A new discovery by a scientist from The University of Western Ontario provides conclusive evidence which supports decades-old evolutionary doctrines long accepted as fact. view more (2008-06-23)
Live-in domestics: Mites as maids in tropical rainforest sweat bee nests
Mites not only inhabit the dust bunnies under the bed, they also occupy the nests of tropical sweat bees where they keep fungi in check. view more (2009-04-21)
Honey bee genome holds clues to social behavior
By studying the humble honey bee, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have come a step closer to understanding the molecular basis of social behavior in humans. view more (2006-10-24)
Fungus Foot Baths Could Save Bees
One of the biggest world wide threats to honey bees, the varroa mite, could soon be about to meet its nemesis. Researchers at the University of Warwick are examining naturally occurring fungi that kill the varroa mite. They are also exploring a range of ways to deliver the killer fungus throughout the hives from bee fungal foot baths to powder... view more... (2008-07-29)
Scientists identify 36 genes, 100 neuropeptides in honey bee brains
From humans to honey bees, neuropeptides control brain activity and, hence, our behaviors. view more (2006-10-26)
Primates harvest bee nests in Ugandan reserve
In the first study of native African honeybees and honey-making stingless bees in the same habitat, humans and chimpanzees are the primary bee nest predators. view more (2006-02-28)
Honey bee chemoreceptors found for smell and taste
Honey bees have a much better sense of smell than fruit flies or mosquitoes, but a much worse sense of taste, according to researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. view more (2006-10-26)
Two bees or not two bees? Researchers take first look at the genetic differences between queen and worker honeybees
For the first time scientists have been able to examine the genetic processes that decide whether a juvenile bee is destined for life as a worker or as a queen. By stringing together a series of images that describe which genes are active, researchers at the Bee Research Laboratory and the University of Arizona have been able to picture exactly... view more...

Bee sting antibiotics could beat superbugs
Bee stings may provide a solution to overcome the growing problem of antibiotic resistance in bacteria according to new research presented today (Monday, 06 September 2004) by Belfast scientists at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity College Dublin. view more (2004-08-23)
Newly Compiled Online Bee Checklist Allows Biologists To Link Important Information About All Bee Species
n time for National Pollinator Week, June 22 through June 28, biologists have completed an online effort to compile a world checklist of bees. They have identified nearly 19,500 bee species worldwide, about 2,000 more than previously estimated. view more (2008-06-19)
Saving our bees
Most of the world's plant species rely on animals to transfer their pollen to other plants. The undisputed queen of these animal pollinators is the bee, made up of about 30,000 species worldwide, whose daily flights aid in the reproduction of more than half of the world's flowering plants. view more (2008-08-04)
New insight into how bees see
New research from Monash University bee researcher Adrian Dyer could lead to improved artificial intelligence systems and computer programs for facial recognition. view more (2009-01-23)
