Bees are not supposed to read code. Yet a new wave of experiments suggests that honeybees can track dot‑and‑dash style light flashes in a way that looks strikingly similar to how humans parse Morse, ...

Jackson Middle School seventh grade students Lea Tanner, left, and Kerrigan Keller, right, watch as seventh grade science teacher Cherish George, center, shows them how to use a micro:bit computer on ...

“Dot.” “Dash.” Short pulse, long pulse. Humans invented Morse code as a way to communicate using electrical signals. Now, bees have managed to learn the fundamental building blocks of this alphabet. A ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, scientists found that bumblebees can tell the difference between short and long light flashes, much like recognizing Morse code. The insects learned which signal led to a ...

Thanks to Samuel F.B. Morse, communication changed rapidly, and has been changing ever faster since. He invented the electric telegraph in 1832. It took six more years for him to standardize a code ...
