Bee wings get more jagged and asymmetrical when bees are stressed out according to a new study.
According to a report from this week, analysis of bee specimen from across the UK suggests that they're all reacting negatively when the weather is hotter and wet. Two different universities published papers in the journal of animal ecology about the alarming findings.
"With hotter and wetter conditions predicted to place bumblebees under higher stress, the fact these conditions will become more frequent under climate change means bumblebees may be in for a rough time over the 21st century," said senior coauthor Richard Gill.
Research shows that bees are in trouble. 75 percent of the world's top 115 food crops depend on pollination in serious risk according to Open Access Government.
Data like this may be able to help populations around the world.
The goal of the project is to find out how bees respond to certain climate conditions and then mobilize to support bee health in the future.
Arce hopes to be able to forecast where and when bumblebees will be most at risk.
Something to buzz about is making moves to save the bees.
