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.
Starting in 2006, California almond growers began to suffer losses due to colony collapse disorder, a poorly understood phenomenon resulting in the decline of bee populations. [2] While this increased pollination expenses for many growers, high demand for almonds created an incentive to transport bees from across the United States to California.
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.

This social parasite is native to 15 states across the U.S. and obliges other bee species to raise its offspring. However, Suckley’s cuckoo bumble bees A New Law Protects Two Beloved Species ...
[6] [65] While noting population increases for certain species of insects in particular areas, the authors reported an annual 2.5% loss of biomass. They wrote that the review "revealed dramatic rates of decline that may lead to the extinction of 40% of the world's insect species over the next few decades", [6] [66] a conclusion that was challenged.
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 ...
The bee nests underground, primarily in colony sizes of about 200-300 workers. While it is not currently in population decline, studies have shown that the B. vosnesenskii experiences reduced nesting density in urbanized landscapes. [6]
