Researchers discover the main factor in the decline of bumblebees

Recent research in the field of beekeeping indicates that the decline in the number of bumblebees, which play an integral role in plant pollination, is a consequence of climate change.

Here's What We Know

A new publication in the journal Frontiers in Bee Science reveals that the main factor behind the decline in bumblebee numbers is the increase in temperature in their nests.

The study found that climate change leads to an increase in temperature in bumblebee nests, which causes the death of these beneficial insects. The reason is that bumblebees cannot survive at temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius.

This discovery highlights the need for urgent action to reduce the impact of climate change on biodiversity. Given the importance of bumblebees in natural ecosystems and agricultural production, conserving their populations is becoming an urgent task for the scientific and public communities.
