Scientists say climate change is driving bumblebees towards extinction. Fox’s Carmen Roberts reports.
A study shows hot temperatures linked to climate change are killing off bumble-bees across North America and Europe. Researchers from Canada’s University of Ottawa say you’re about half as likely to see bumblebees today in the places they’ve lived in North America. That’s a disturbing trend to ecologists who say bumblebees are crucial pollinators doing work honeybees cannot. Scientists say you can help save Bumblebees by planting native shrubs and flowers and by leaving fallen logs and foliage to protect the bees from excessive heat. Carmen Roberts Fox News
The study is published this week in the journal, Science.
