New research, published in Communications Biology, is helping to improve our understanding of Varroa mites and colony collapse disorder.
Let’s celebrate National Honey Bee Day by creating habitats for these essential pollinators. Here are 5 easy things we can all do to help bees thrive.
Canola farmers and beekeepers have a vested interest protecting bees as much as possible, issuing Best Management Practices for Pollinator Health.
A new strategy uses pollinator bees to deliver a payload that targets fungal species.
Researchers have found that the relationship between the Varroa mite and the virulence of a virus of honey bees has most likely been misunderstood.
The innovative Bee Downtown brings agriculture to the cityscape on pollinators’ wings, and gets urbanites caring about the industry again.
Many farmers wonder how they can take care of a pollinator habitat they planted in non-crop areas come winter.
In honor of September being National Honey Month, the Bayer Bee Care Program will launch three bee-care awareness initiatives.

You may already know that a sizable amount of food we eat is because of their crop pollination (though the exact percentage is the point of much debate), but there are many facts that people aren’t aware of. Here are 12 interesting facts about bees, nature’s first farmer: […]
An international team of researchers has discovered evidence of 27 previously unknown viruses in bees. The finding could help scientists design strategies to prevent the spread of viral pathogens among these important pollinators. “Populations of bees around the world are declining, and viruses are known to contribute to these declines,” said David Galbraith, research scientist […]
