Pollinator decline is the reduction in abundance of insect and other animal pollinators in many ecosystems worldwide that began being recorded at the end of the 20th century. Multiple lines of evidence exist for the reduction of wild pollinator populations at the regional level, especially within Europe and North America.
We need to recognize that it is not too late to make some changes that can help all of us, including the bees. Commentary: Declining health of bees in Durham are a warning sign of climate change ...
The decline was "apparent regardless of habitat type" and could not be explained by "changes in weather, land use, and habitat characteristics". The authors suggested that not only butterflies, moths and wild bees appear to be in decline, as previous studies indicated, but "the flying insect community as a whole". [1] [4] [52] [53] [54]
Except one major contributor isn't as abundant as it once was—wild bees. Local farmers have attributed the decline in bees, both wild and managed, to climate change and parasites. Nationwide ...
A 2015 review examined 170 studies on colony collapse disorder and stressors for bees, including pathogens, agrochemicals, declining biodiversity, climate change and more. The review concluded that "a strong argument can be made that it is the interaction among parasites, pesticides, and diet that lies at the heart of current bee health problems."
The study delved into the impacts of climate change on honey bee colony dynamics, particularly focusing on the Pacific Northwest. Warmer autumns, winters pose threat to PNW honey bee survival, WSU ...
A decline in bee population leads to a decline in crop yield, which will then result in a reduction in the food supply and cause economic hardships for farmers. [24] [25] Commercially produced B. impatiens is one of the most important species of pollinator bees that are used by greenhouse industry in North America, [7] including Canada and ...
With regional temperatures changing due to climate change, the range of mosquitos will change as well. [26] The range of mosquitoes will move farther north and south, and places will have a longer period of mosquito habitability than at present, leading to an increase in the mosquito population in these areas.
