Image-based honey bee larval viral and bacterial diagnosis using machine learning.

Scientific reports
Honey bees are essential pollinators of ecosystems and agriculture worldwide. With an estimated 50-80% of crops pollinated by honey bees, they generate approximately $20 billion annually in market value in the U.S. alone. However, commercial beekeepe...

Hidden Markov model for acoustic pesticide exposure detection and hive identification in stingless bees.

PloS one
Pollinator populations are declining globally at an unprecedented rate, driven by factors such as pathogens, habitat loss, climate change, and the widespread application of pesticides. Although colony losses remain difficult to prevent, precision bee...

Honeybee colony soundscapes: Decoding distance-based cues and environmental stressors.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Honey bees play a crucial role in agricultural productivity and ecological stability, yet their interactions with environmental stressors, particularly volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and pollutants, pose significant challenges to their cognitive f...

Digital image processing combined with machine learning: A novel approach for bee pollen classification.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
The classification of bee pollen is crucial for ensuring product authenticity, quality control, and fraud prevention, particularly given the high commercial value of stingless bee pot-pollen. Although traditional pollen analysis methods are available...

Employing artificial bee and ant colony optimization in machine learning techniques as a cognitive neuroscience tool.

Scientific reports
Higher education is essential because it exposes students to a variety of areas. The academic performance of IT students is crucial and might fail if it isn't documented to identify the features influencing them, as well as their strengths and shortc...

A machine learning approach fusing multisource spectral data for prediction of floral origins and taste components of Apis cerana honey.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
This study explores the use of near-infrared (NIR), mid-infrared (MIR), and Raman spectral fusion for the rapid prediction of floral origins and main taste components in Apis cerana (A. cerana) honey. Feature-level fusion with the partial least squar...

Enhancing the decision optimization of interaction design in sustainable healthcare with improved artificial bee colony algorithm and generative artificial intelligence.

PloS one
With the development of digital health, enhancing decision-making effectiveness has become a critical task. This study proposes an improved Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm aimed at optimizing decision-making models in the field of digital healt...

Identifying bee species origins of Philippine honey using X-ray fluorescence elemental analysis coupled with machine learning.

Food chemistry
Stingless bee honey is emerging as a superfood, given its enhanced health and therapeutic benefits. In this paper, we used handheld X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (hXRF) with machine learning techniques to classify Philippine honey based on its ento...

Insect-inspired passive wing collision recovery in flapping wing microrobots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Flying insects have developed two distinct adaptive strategies to minimize wing damage during collisions. One strategy includes an elastic joint at the leading edge, which is evident in wasps and beetles, while another strategy features an adaptive a...

Assessing foraging landscape quality in Quebec's commercial beekeeping through remote sensing, machine learning, and survival analysis.

Journal of environmental management
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) play an important role in our agricultural systems. In recent years, beekeepers have reported high colony mortality rates in several parts of the world. Inadequate foraging landscapes are often cited as a major factor dete...
