The ‘life stories’ of bumblebees

“Scientists have tracked the flight paths of a group of bumblebees throughout their entire lives to find out how they explore their environment and search for food.

This is believed to be the first time any insect has been tracked throughout its whole life.

In this unconventional study, the researchers from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) discovered the individual bumblebees differed greatly from one another in the way they flew around the landscape when foraging for nectar.” – https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/08/160804152719.htm
