Speaker 1: And today's good news. Researchers in the US are a
Speaker 1: step closer to solving the long standing mystery of how
Speaker 1: far bees travel from their hives to collect pollen and nectar.
Speaker 1: A study led by Penn State has attached hundreds of
Speaker 1: tiny QR coats to the back of several hundred bees
Speaker 1: in rural parts of the states of Penna, Sylvania and
Speaker 1: New York. The tags track when the bees go in
Speaker 1: and out of their hives, and while most trips last
Speaker 1: a few minutes, researchers have already learned that some of
Speaker 1: the bees spend hours away from the hive at a time.
Speaker 1: Researchers said the tracking method enables far more comprehensive and
Speaker 1: expanded observations of bee behaviors.
