35°C temperature rise threatens bumblebee survival, endangering pollination and crop production, per the study in Frontiers in Bee Science.

Climate change drives overheating of bumblebee nests, threatening their survival, according to a study published in Frontiers in Bee Science. Rising temperatures above 35°C can be fatal for the insects, compromising their ability to create suitable nests for healthy larval development. Bumblebees are vital pollinators for ecosystems and their decline could lead to reduced crop production.
