Researchers from Virginia Tech and Arizona State University recently revealed findings that tie two brain chemicals in bees to learning ability.

(THE CONVERSATION) – As trees and flowers blossom in spring, bees emerge from their winter nests and burrows. For many species it’s time to mate, and some will start new solitary nests or colonies.

A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC has for the first time identified specific patterns of brain chemical activity that predict ...

Social insects like bees demonstrate a remarkable range of behaviors, from working together to build structurally complex nests (complete with built-in climate control) to the pragmatic division of ...

The model not only deepens our understanding of how bees learn and recognize complex patterns through their movements, but also paves the way for next-generation AI. It demonstrates that future robots ...

Honeybees are very social insects, often living in large colonies under the aegis of a queen, who lays eggs that are tended by the worker-bees (all female). The workers forage for nectar and pollen in ...
