Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags for tracking the activity of honeybees in the hive revealed that about 20% of the foraging bees brought home more than half of the nectar and pollen gathered ...

The tiny 2.5 mm radio frequency identification sensors are attached to the back of the bee and then the bees are released to the wild.(CSIRO) Miniature radio tags, akin to e-tags for cars, are being ...

Radio frequency identification technology has helped a team of researchers to learn the foraging behavior of bumblebees by tracking their movements into and out of pollen and nectar chambers. A study, ...

Reversible changes that dictate how genes function may determine what jobs honeybees do in the hive. Worker honeybees are literally born to be nurses that take care of larvae. After two to three weeks ...

A drop of glue, tweezers, a micro-sensor and there it is - a bee that's also an e-tag. The sensors are being rolled out across the backs of four Tasmanian swarms this summer in world-first CSIRO ...

The Global Initiative for Honey Bee Health project has seen scientists superglue tiny radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to the backs of 15,000 bees so far in Australia and Brazil, in a ...
