Temperature as an early warning signal of honeybee colony failure How to identify ecological systems at risk of failure is a central question of modern biology and agriculture. Due to human impacts and global change,…

We developed a simple method to detect bee colony failure using a single temperature sensor per hive and that is not dependent on the season. Tested on 96 bee colonies from three apiaries.

Scientists Strapped QR Codes Onto Thousands of Bees to Learn How Far They Actually Fly Researchers put a sensor at the entrance of beehives to register each time the pollinators entered or exited, and how long they were gone.

🐝 Scientists are using tiny QR codes on thousands of bees to track their flight distances and behaviors🧪 This breakthrough reveals how far bees fly, aiding in pollination research and conservation. 🌼🌍
