A dead carpenter bee. 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.
The density of hives in London is much greater than in other areas of the UK, and this has led to concerns that city green spaces may not provide sufficient forage to sustain growing bee populations. [43] The UK government has aided the rise of beekeeping in cities by releasing a plastic beehive purpose-built for urban beekeeping.
Curious how to nurture the pollinator population? Local bee experts say its as simple as snapping photos on a smartphone. Promoting harmony: The coexistence of humans and local pollinators
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 ...
Out of the bees species, the honey bee or Apis mellifera has been studied the most and in the United States, there has been a loss of 59% of colonies from 1947 to 2005. [75] The decrease in populations of the honey bee have been attributed to pesticides, genetically modified crops, fragmentation, parasites and diseases that have been introduced ...

Western honey bee populations face threats to their survival, increasing interests into other pollinator species, like the common eastern bumblebee. [80] North American and European populations were severely depleted by Varroa mite infestations during the early 1990s, and U.S. beekeepers were further affected by colony collapse disorder in 2006 ...
Bee pollination is important both ecologically and commercially, and the decline in wild bees has increased the value of pollination by commercially managed hives of honey bees. The analysis of 353 wild bee and hoverfly species across Britain from 1980 to 2013 found the insects have been lost from a quarter of the places they inhabited in 1980. [6]
