New research says that some bee species could vanish within a few decades

According to a new study published Thursday in the journalbumblebee species are drastically declining — possibly risking extinction — due to the world’s heightened climate crisis.

Researchers at the University of Ottowa explained that while “climate chaos” being “related to the growing extinction risk that animals are facing around the world” is not a relatively new theory, bumblebees especially are disappearing at a consistent rate.“If declines continue at this pace, many of these species could vanish forever within a few decades,” first author Peter Soroye said.

“We found that populations were disappearing in areas where the temperatures had gotten hotter,” Soroye explained. As the study explained, “bumblebees are among the best pollinators we have in the wildlife system,” so researchers are eager to keep bees alive and thriving. To help with this goal, the study offered suggestions of ways anyone can help protect the bees.

Or maybe it’s also because of almond milk

What species will not go extinct? This isn’t sarcasm - it’s a genuine question.

Wow !

Hope this isn’t the rise of that black mirror episode with the autonomous bees...🤔

Or the fact humans are using pesticides to kill off every flower that is a weed and they have less plants to pollinate with

So sad

You're saying bumblebees but showing honey bees.🤔

Never they will adapt..mother nature and her great husband 'life' will see that they continue to thrive

That’s a new one. Why not. Also the dodo bird disappeared due to climate change. And unicorns.

Washington Post, New York Times Editorial Boards Warn Donald Trump: 'It's Not Over'Both newspapers made ominous predictions of how Trump will respond to his Senate acquittal. ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE If it's now okay how about asking other countries to investigate Trump. Russia, Ukraine, if you're listening find those tax documents, real estate deals and bank records. But I wouldn't suggest that because I'd probably get in trouble, being Black in America.
