Honey bees are an invasive species throughout most of the world where they have been introduced, and the constant growth in the amount of these pollinators may possibly cause a decrease in native species. [21] Light pollution has been suggested a number of times as a possible reason for the possible decline in flying insects.
Honey bees at a hive entrance: one is about to land and another is fanning. Colony collapse disorder (CCD) is an abnormal phenomenon that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a honey bee colony disappear, leaving behind a queen, plenty of food, and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees.

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 ...
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]
Story at a glance New research underscores the negative effect of climate change on alpine bee populations. According to 60 years’ worth of data, bees in alpine regions are in an evolutionary ...
About 50% of NJ honeybees are being lost each year. So far there has not been an impact on the state's production of fruits and vegetables.
With the decline of both wild and domestic pollinator populations, pollination management is becoming an increasingly important part of horticulture.Factors that cause the loss of pollinators include pesticide misuse, unprofitability of beekeeping for honey, rapid transfer of pests and diseases to new areas of the globe, urban/suburban development, changing crop patterns, clearcut logging ...
A new study suggests that the mysterious disappearance of the Earth's bees may be in part because they are developing dementia. According to the new research dementia caused by aluminum found in ...
