Perspective | Welcome bugs into your yard. You might just save the world. 2020-02-20T05:00:00Z In the wild, bumblebees are likely to rely on sight and olfactory cues to recognize flowers, for example. Bumblebees Solve a 17th-Century Psychological Puzzle 2020-02-20T05:00:00Z They had added bumblebees to a research greenhouse and observed them cutting holes in the shape of half-moons. Hungry bumblebees make plants flower early by cutting holes in their leaves 2020-05-21T04:00:00Z They recommended the enrichment of "habitats in food plants that meet the requirement of individual bumblebees species" as the best way to "secure their basic life needs". City pollinators make beeline for violet blooms 2020-03-10T04:00:00Z Unlike native, wild bees like bumblebees, honeybees are carefully marshaled in hives and are now more valuable as contract pollination workers than as honey producers. Hive heists: why the next threat to bees is organized crime 2020-02-18T05:00:00Z "We have created a new way to predict local extinctions that tells us, for each species individually, whether climate change is creating temperatures that exceed what the bumblebees can handle," explained study co-author Tim Newbold. New study warns climate chaos driving rapid decline of bumblebees 2020-02-09T05:00:00Z His earlier work with bumblebees shows that they have sophisticated abilities for learning and memory. Bumblebees Solve a 17th-Century Psychological Puzzle 2020-02-20T05:00:00Z A key observation—that bumblebees from colonies with less food were more avidly damaging the leaves—suggested another goal.

Bumblebees' decline points to mass extinction – study 2020-02-06T05:00:00Z And the American bumblebee ought to be considered critically endangered in Canada, a study by York University found last year. Climate change could push bumblebees to extinction 2020-02-06T05:00:00Z The data they collected showed that bumblebees may prefer nectar concentrations with 3 or 4 percent less sugar than previously anticipated, in order to avoid being slowed down too much during regurgitation. Bumblebee Vomit: Scientists Are No Longer Ignoring It 2020-01-22T05:00:00Z Over the course of a single human generation, the chances of a local bumblebee population surviving has fallen by an average of more than 30%. New study warns climate chaos driving rapid decline of bumblebees 2020-02-09T05:00:00Z Yes, our rational mind knows that bumblebees are gentle giants, more clowns than menace, but their foreboding buzz in the garden triggers some instinctive RUN! impulse that usually overrides all rational thought.

Climate change could push bumblebees to extinction 2020-02-06T05:00:00Z The thicker the nectar, the longer it takes for a bumblebee to lap up, which cuts into the energy gains the extra sugar provides. Bumblebee Vomit: Scientists Are No Longer Ignoring It 2020-01-22T05:00:00Z "Perhaps the most exciting element is that we developed a method to predict extinction risk that works very well for bumblebees and could in theory be applied universally to other organisms," he added.
