The language of bees

Experiments to assess the mathematical abilities of bees could help inform the development of universal languages which might help us communicate with intelligent aliens in the future.

To bee or not to bee?

Without bees to pollinate our crops, our food supply would be significantly affected, but climate change, deforestation, bushfires, tropical cyclones, floods, droughts and now COVID-19 have all had major impacts on beekeepers in the Australia-Pacific region.

Blue-banded bliss

We can all do more to notice and appreciate our wonderful native bees and give them a helping hand, it’s so little effort for such a great reward.
