The molecular mechanisms driving honey bee fate have been revealed. Despite having identical genetic instructions, female honey bee larvae can develop into either long-lived reproductive queens or ...
CORVALLIS, Ore. - New research shows that honeybees prioritize the nutritional status of larvae when selecting for a new emergency queen. The U.S. Department of Agriculture-funded study is published ...
Despite having identical genetic instructions, female honey bee larvae can develop into either long-lived reproductive queens or short-lived sterile workers who help rear their sisters rather than ...
When you think “bee,” you likely picture one species that lives all over the world: the honey bee. And honey bees have queens, a female who lays essentially all of the eggs for the colony. But most ...
FERGUS FALLS, Minn. -- Every hive needs its queen, and with 2.3 million honeybee hives engaged in commercial pollination and honey production in the U.S., queen breeders such as Mark Sundberg are ...
Scientists have discovered a way to make worker bees produce an enhanced version of royal jelly (RJ) -- the super-nutritious substance that dictates whether larvae become workers or queens, and that ...
Upcoming research funded by the UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) will investigate the secrets of longevity in honeybee queens. Queens eat royal jelly, which has antioxidants and less ...
Toddlers and tweens have very different needs, which influence how parents provide for them. The same is true in honey bees, but instead of communicating their needs via language, honey bee larvae ...
