Bee Homes Decide Survival in Warming World

Bees aren’t all equal when it comes to surviving climate change—those nesting in exposed plant stems are far more vulnerable than their underground-dwelling cousins. A new study of nearly 100 native bee species in eastern Australia reveals that nesting location is key: stem-nesters feel every degree of rising heat, while burrowers stay cool.

Protecting these pollinators means understanding—and preserving—their nesting habits. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
