Hybrid honeybees could be a jackpot when it comes to resisting varroa mites — but only if they’re sweet enough to handle safely.

The Honeybee Lottery

As pollinator populations continue to struggle, researchers are modifying drones to help almonds, apples, and other tree crops.

Robot Bees Can Pollinate Crops

Scientists say “bee vectoring” could help control pests — but how viable is it?

Pollinator advocates are vocal about the urgent need to restore our native bee populations — just don’t make them honeybees. 

To repopulate land with specialized native flora, it’s not as easy as visiting the seed store.

A grassroots movement has emerged, promoting pollinator-friendly yard design and public awareness to help fortify a sustainable food system.

New research shows some synthetic chemicals change the electric fields around flowers so that pollinators avoid them.

Banned in Europe, this class of honeybee-harming pesticides is facing a possible ban in New York. Some researchers see a downside.
