Sequencing the gardenia genome shows how plants evolved to re-use tricks from their genetic toolbox to create new chemicals.

When pollen resources are low, bumblebees damage plants to help drive more flowering so they can get more, researchers have found.

A wild dandelion's spiny pollen has evolved to attach to traveling bumblebees, report researchers.

Although there are pros and cons to flowering strips for bumble bees, they're a good way to offset pollinator declines, say researchers.

Honey bees that live in cities depend on a varied diet of trees, shrubs, and woody vines for food, depending on the season, a new study shows.

Scientists have known foxglove plants make chemicals that can treat heart failure since the 1780s. New research digs into how the plant actually does it.

The morning glory is both pretty and a noxious agricultural pest. New research looks into its genome to find out how it resists glyphosate, AKA Roundup.

The genome sequence of a water lily sheds light on the early evolution of angiosperms, the group of all flowering plants.

A drop of fossilized amber from a mine in northern Myanmar contains not just a beetle but also 62 grains of pollen still clinging to its legs.

"As we get a better sense of what makes flowers attractive to different kinds of bees, maybe we can get smarter about bee conservation."
