*Mystery of how far bees travel to collect pollen is revealed*
Biologists have tagged hundreds of bees with QR codes so they can track their movements, and in doing so they have finally begun to solve the mystery of how far bees travel from the hive when they are out foraging for nectar and pollen.
"If you take a bee out of the hive and put it up to 10 kilometers away from the hive, they have the ability to fly back to their homes, so they can fly very, very long distances," Margarita López-Uribe, an associate professor of entomology at Penn State University and the author of a paper on HardwareX, told Newsweek.
