President Joe Biden speaks at the commencement of Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia as he seeks to win back Black voters.by Kelly Koopmans, KOMO News Anchor Research ers blame a warming climate for tricking bees into flying later into the season when they should be staying inside their hive.

“When they’re in there they’re kind of in a hibernation state,” said researcher Gloria Hoffman. “I mean, they’re active but most importantly they’re not aging.”journal, focused on bees in the Pacific Northwest and found with warmer falls, the bees are flying later and more often, leading more to die. Study authors said when flight begins in the spring, there are fewer viable bees and the colonies can collapse.

“With climate change, we tend to focus on hot summers and things like that, but even small changes in temperatures in seasons that we don’t usually pay attention to can exacerbate the issues,” Rajagopalan said.
