Hoverflies can carry pollen over greater distances than bees and pollinate many plants that grow in your garden or yard. Look ...

Honeybees face numerous enemies throughout their relatively short lives. Pesticides, starvation, and parasites are three ...

The team has described the morphological adaptations of this species of blow fly. In particular, the larvae of this calliphorid have developed a unique disguise to help them infiltrate termite mounds.

But when the fly does succeed, the fly’s egg hatches into a larva that digs tiny hooks into the bee larva. As the bee eats the pollen and grows, the fly larva sucks it dry.

You know bees are beneficial, but you might not know about another beneficial flying insect. Find out what it is and why you should avoid killing it.

Roughly 300,000 robot hives are in use across the U.S., scattered across fields of almond, canola, pistachios and other crops ...

The larvae of most bee fly species lay their eggs in or on other insects, particularly wasps and solitary bees. The larvae then feed on the insect host, usually killing it.

The fly larvae — we call them maggots — hatch and feed on the pollen,” Zack said. “So what the maggots do is they destroy all the food for the immature mason bee.

As they collect it for their larvae, they unintentionally distribute it from flower to flower. One leafcutter bee can pollinate 20 times as many flowers as a honey bee!

While it may be an unfamiliar sensation to humans, electroreception is relatively commonplace in the animal kingdom. Sharks, bees and even the platypus all share this ability to detect electric ...

Researchers have found that besides sharks, bees and platypus, even fruit fly larvae can sense electric fields and navigate toward the negative electric potential using a small set of sensory ...
