Global Warming Threatens Bumblebee Populations with Lethal Nest Temperatures

Recent studies highlight a critical temperature threshold for bumblebee nests, beyond which larval survival is compromised.

Research identifies optimal nest temperatures for bumblebees between 28°C and 32°C, with lethal limits around 35°C.
Bumblebees' ability to thermoregulate is overwhelmed by rising global temperatures, endangering their role as pollinators.
Population declines linked to overheating nests, posing risks to ecosystems and food supplies worldwide.
Scientists call for urgent research into bumblebee nest ecology to mitigate climate impacts.
Conservation efforts must address habitat creation and global temperature control to preserve bumblebee species.
