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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
