DOI: 10.1109/tmtt.2020.3034323
Abstract: A battery-less 5.8-GHz transmitter (TX), compact and lightweight enough to enable flight of $\sim 90$ mg honeybees and free roaming of bumblebees within their nest, was developed. The TX was coupled to a compact phased-array… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12243
Abstract: Current research, management and outreach programmes relevant to insect pollinator conservation are strongly focused on relationships between pollinators and insect‐pollinated crops and wild plants. Pollinators also visit wind‐pollinated plants to collect pollen, or for nest… read more here.

DOI: 10.18517/ijaseit.10.4.12167
Abstract: Insect pollinators is one of the important factors in the cross-pollination of coffee flowers, which affects the coffee fruit set. However, there is still a limited understanding of how shade trees in the coffee ecosystem… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/v14020227
Abstract: Insect pollinators provide major pollination services for wild plants and crops. Honeybee viruses can cause serious damage to honeybee colonies. However, viruses of other wild pollinating insects have yet to be fully explored. In the… read more here.
