As bee populations dwindle globally due to a myriad of factors such as climate change, pesticide use, and habitat loss, the need for innovative solutions to sustain vital pollination processes becomes ...

LIFTING up the hood of a Beewise hive feels more like you’re getting ready to examine the engine of a car than visit with a few thousand pollinators. The unit—dubbed a BeeHome—is an industrial upgrade ...

The new concept of the robotic bee comes from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. In a laboratory, researchers are developing a robotic bees model that could be used to pollinate plants ...

In recent years, the phenomenon of bee colony collapse has emerged as a significant threat to global food security and biodiversity. Bees, being crucial pollinators, play a foundational role in ...

Feb. 4 (UPI) --Scientists with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say a new breed of tiny flying robots that weigh less than a gram could take the place of bees as pollinators in indoor ...

Researchers at Durham University, in collaboration with international partners, have developed a robotic system that allows for continuous, long-term observation of honeybee colonies. The robotic ...

Researchers are using big data and smart technologies to improve conditions for bees and guide beekeepers. With an electronic "ping," Professor Dirk de Graaf gets an alert on his smartphone. It's a ...

Researchers at the Freie Universität Berlin have developed a robot that mimicks the dances of European honey bees. In this lab demonstration, a robotic arm controls the bee. Read more in "Attack of ...

Harvard's RoboBee will one day conduct artificial pollination and survey disaster zones, but first it has to stop crash landing. Reading time 2 minutes Imagine tiny robotic bees buzzing around fields ...

Bees have been in trouble for awhile now - and that means trouble for everyone else. Scientists have been studying a worrying phenomenon called colony collapse disorder for more than a decade, after ...
