Climate Change Is Shrinking Where Bumblebees Range, Research Finds

New York Times: Climate change has narrowed the range where bumblebees are found in North America and Europe in recent decades, according to a study published Thursday. The paper, published in the journal Science, suggests that warming temperatures have caused bumblebee populations to retreat from the southern limits of their travels by as much as 190 miles since the 1970s. Logic would suggest that the northern reaches of their home turf would shift to higher latitudes by a corresponding distance. But that has...

Nature World: In case you wondered if honeybees were squeezed but bumblebees were fairly present in your own garden, it seems that the range of bumblebees is drastically narrowing due to climate change as well. Researchers at the University of Vermont and University of Ottawa recently published their findings from the most comprehensive study conducted yet on the impacts of warming on critical pollinators, in the journal Science. The scientists examined more than 420,000 historical and current records of many...

ScienceDaily: Global warming is putting the squeeze on bumblebees. In the most comprehensive study ever conducted of the impacts of climate change on critical pollinators, scientists have discovered that global warming is rapidly shrinking the area where these bees are found in both North America and Europe. Researchers examined more than 420,000 historical and current records of many species of bumblebees--and confirm that bumblebees are in steep decline at a continental scale because of climate change. The...

Buzz Kill For Bumblebees: Climate Change Is Shrinking Their Range
2015-07-09 22:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: There's new evidence that wild bees, some of nature's most industrious pollinators of wildflowers and crops, are getting squeezed by our planet's changing climate. The evidence comes from a century of bee observations, carried out across North America and Europe. Biologist Jeremy Kerr, at the University of Ottawa, decided to look specifically at sightings of bumblebees. These are the big, fuzzy bees that live wild, not the honeybees that beekeepers manage. There are dozens of different bumblebee...
Bumblebee Habitat Shrinking Due to Climate Change, Plus 12 Other Animals at Risk

Weather Channel: Busy bees are at their busiest during summertime, cleaning the nest, foraging for food. They prefer the warm weather to colder seasons. But new research published in the July 10, 2015, Science reveals that for bumblebees in North America and Europe, suitable habitat to do this work is shrinking due to a warming climate, yet the bees arent moving. Bumblebee species are retreating from the extreme southern margin of their historic ranges and losing their populations there, Leif Richardson, a...
