Honey bees create a mixture of pollen and nectar that sticks to their hind legs to allow them to carry the maximum amount possible back to their hives. Incredible insight from @mmatherne6 @GeorgiaTech (and some awesome experimental videos as always). youtu.be/8nNLBo2VO34

It turns out honey bees aren’t just interested in honey — these hard workers bake bread by the basketful. Take a #DeepLook at bee bread, the pollen creation that serves as a bee’s main source of protein. bit.ly/2V1SsCe

Pre-screening panelist #1: Marguerite Matherne @mmatherne6 @GeorgiaTech @drdavidhu's lab! She studies 1) how honey bees collect+transport pollen 2) how mammals use tails to deter biting insects. Her research has been featured in @nytimes, @discovemag etc. facebook.com/events/3243210…

Issue 20 has closed and issue 21 is now open. The cover shows an image of a mosquito on a horse's tail, which accompanies Marguerite Matherne's paper showing that animals generate a breeze that wafts away biting insects when they swing their tails. jeb.biologists.org/content/221/20


Everyone could guess a mammal’s tail is used to ward off insects, but do you know how it works? We discovered how in our study (and my first paper as a grad student 😊) @drdavidhu

Now we know why animals swish their tails; they're creating a breeze to waft biting insects away. jeb.biologists.org/content/221/20…



Honey bees are experts at transporting microscopic pollen particles. Read about my findings presented at #apsdfd!

Bees stick pollen on their hairy legs to carry it back to the hive: scim.ag/2Agh78E
