According to American scientists, honeybees have the capacity to locate nectar in flowers by sensing the temperature of their food.Biologists at UC San Diego, has found that honeybees can discriminate between food at different temperatures, an ability that may assist bees in locating the warm, sugar-rich nectar or high-protein pollen produced by many flowers.While other researchers had previously found...

November 20 : In a new study, scientists have determined that killer bees may be among the most feared of all insects because of their sting, but they aren't too smart.Killer bees, which result from a cross between African honey bees and a Brazilian variety in the 1950s, have spread from Central American into the southern United States.Now, according to a report in New Scientist, a team led by Margaret...

Bigger is not necessarily better, at least when it comes to brains, says a new study, which found that tiny insects could be as intelligent as much bigger animals, despite only having a brain the size of a pinhead."Animals with bigger brains are not necessarily more intelligent," says Lars Chittka from Queen Mary, University of London.Research repeatedly shows how insects are capable of some intelligent...

I'm today sending e-mails and watching video clips on myphone with a colour display that turns my TV red with embarrassment. However,not everyone is amused by the over-abundance of mobile phones and networkoperators. A recent study...
