They may have tiny brains, but bumblebees are capable of some remarkable learning feats, especially when they might get a tasty reward, according to two studies by University of Guelph researchers.

Honeybees are very social insects, often living in large colonies under the aegis of a queen, who lays eggs that are tended by the worker-bees (all female). The workers forage for nectar and pollen in ...

A new discovery of how bees use their flight movements to facilitate remarkably accurate learning and recognition of complex visual patterns could mark a major change in how next-generation AI is ...

Social learning plays an important role in a honey bee’s ability to “waggle dance,” report researchers, who observed that honey bees not exposed to the dances of older, more experienced nestmates ...

Researchers have discovered that bees can quickly adapt their methods of finding food by observing others in their colony. A study recently conducted by researchers at Queen Mary University of London ...
