PEAK BEE POPULATION - COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER

[sumisu]

These two quotes bother me a lot since the bumblebee is the most abundant pollinator in my garden:

'Potts said global warming is "very clearly a real future risk" because pollinators and their plants may not be at the same place at the same time. England has seen one-quarter of its bumblebee species threatened, and those are the type of bees most sensitive to climate change, he said.'

'England has lost two species of wild bumblebees to extinction and the U.S. has lost one, Inouye said.'

Thanks for posting!
