We are facing a progressive decline of bees, bumblebees and pollinating insects. Bees are disappearing from our planet and effective solutions have not yet been identified.
A new research wanted to deepen the causes of the disappearance of bees. The attention of the experts is focused on climate changes. Global warming and changing climate are endangering the habitats of pollinating bees and insects, which struggle to colonize new territories and reproduce in new areas.
In particular, climate change would be causing the disappearance of bumblebees and wild bees from the areas in which they were historically located. This could lead to very serious consequences for pollination in agriculture especially in Europe and North America, according to the new research.
Global temperatures are rising and bees and bumblebees are disappearing from warmer regions. They begin to move north to find new habitats, but this doesn't always turn out to be an easy feat.
He states it Jeremy Kerr, biologist ofUniversity of Ottawa who took care of the new studio. Scientists have so far proposed a number of reasons for the disappearance of bees, with the use of neonicotinoid pesticides in agriculture in the first place.
At the moment the attention of the experts is mainly directed to the bumblebees, because their ability to pollination it is both aimed at various types of plants and extended over time, from spring to late autumn. Their natural presence in the cultivated heads is therefore fundamental for agriculture. Other bee species, on the other hand, pollinate only a limited variety of plants.
Researchers point out that bumblebees are of great economic importance, since natural pollination by insects is worth well 3 billion dollars a year. Researchers have highlighted a very rapid decline in the bumblebee population in both Europe and North America.
The study in question, recently published in Science, highlighted that i bumblebees fail to take advantage of a migration to the Nordic regions, despite their climate in recent years has become milder. However, the phenomenon as a whole is not yet clear and not all species of bumblebees are endangered. Further research will be needed to delve into the subject.
