Combinations of different pesticides are harmful to bees — important insects that help pollinate the environment, according to a recent study. There is global concern over declines in pollinators, and these cocktail pesticides could be detrimental to already endangered bee populations. “Interactions between multiple agrochemicals significantly increase bee mortality,” the study’s lead author, Harry Siviter […]

Bee massacre: Pesticide use decimates Brazilian bee population
More than 500 million bees in Brazil died in just three months. Scientists are linking these mass deaths to an increased use of pesticides. Beekeepers reported mass die-offs of bees in four Brazilian states from October 2018 to March 2019. The state of Rio Grande do Sul, in particular, recorded the highest losses. But Brazilian bees […]

While everybody panics about coronavirus, insects are heading for extinction in both the U.S. and Europe … No insects means no food
Nothing epitomizes a warm, sunny day like the sound of bees buzzing peacefully from plant to plant in the garden. These little creatures do far more than provide us with delicious honey, however. Without bees and other pollinators, humans and other animals would cease to exist on our planet. The renowned poet Maurice Maeterlinck warned […]

Amazing study reveals bees can connect symbols to numbers: Insects COMPUTE
Research has established that bees understand the concept of zero and are capable of doing basic math. Now, a recent research conducted by scientists from the RMIT University in Australia suggests that bees are also capable of being trained to connect symbols to numbers in order to receive food. This experiment used a carrot and stick reward system to […]

Bees love cannabis, and it’s helping to restore their declining populations
New research published in the journal Environmental Entomology has found that bees absolutely love to feed on cannabis sativa, which in turn is helping to boost their dwindling populations caused by prolific exposure to deadly crop chemicals like neonicotinoids and Roundup (glyphosate). Entitled, “The Bee Community of Cannabis sativa and Corresponding Effects of Landscape Composition,” […]

Bee smarts: Scientists discover the insects can do basic math
Animals are able to understand and use numbers on a rudimentary level. They apply this understanding to important tasks, such as foraging and managing resources, which ensure their survival. So far, only humans and a few animal species have demonstrated the ability to do complex arithmetic operations. But a new study conducted by researchers from France and Australia show that honeybees […]

Biologists: Pesticide regulations designed to protect bees are failing
Bees, like many of the world’s insects, are in crisis, and their numbers are dwindling at an alarming rate. At the same time, the world’s population – and its reliance on insect-pollinated crops – continues to grow at an equally alarming pace. The bees might be in crisis right now, but pretty soon it will […]
