 * Bees Are Losing Their Habitat Because of Climate Change


BEES ARE LOSING THEIR HABITAT BECAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE

Getty Images
By Justin Worland
July 9, 2015 4:11 PM EDT

As if pesticides, disease and habitat loss were not enough, there’s more bad
news for bees. Changing temperature and weather conditions due to climate change
has restricted the area where bees can survive, and the pollinators have
struggled to adapt, according to new research published in the journal Science.

“They just aren’t colonizing new areas and establishing new populations fast
enough to track rapid human-caused climate change,” said study author Jeremy
Kerr, a professor at the University of Ottawa, on a call for journalists.
“Impacts are large and they are underway. They are not just something to worry
about at some vague, future time.”




For the study, researchers looked at 110 years of data on 67 bumblebee species
to track their movements over time. Activity between 1901 and 1974 was compared
to movement in recent decades when climate change accelerated. In the northern
end of their range, bees have failed to migrate closer to the North pole. In the
southern end, many populations have died. Altogether, bees have lost a range of
up to nearly 200 miles in both North America and Europe. The study, which
evaluated land use changes and pesticide application in addition to weather
conditions, attributed the drop to climate change.

The landmark study adds to scientists’ understanding of how different species
respond to climate change. Many animals—like the butterfly—have adjusted to a
changing climate by migrating towards the Earth’s poles. But the research on
bees suggests that not all species have the same ability to adjust. Though bees
can easily move from location to location, researchers suggested the migration
may not have occurred because they have trouble setting up a home in a new
place.



“This paper is important because it reinforces our understanding that species
will not all be able to shift their ranges in order to adapt to a changing
climate,” said Sacha Vignieri, an associate editor for the journal Science. “It
provides important insight into further potential stressors to bee populations,
which are already generally declining and under significant threat.”

While climate change threatens many species, bees and other pollinators have
received special attention at least in part because of the important role they
play in agriculture. The White House, along with environmental groups, has been
a particularly strong advocate, calling for an increase in the size of
pollinator habitats. Bees add $15 billion in value to the U.S. agricultural
sector by pollinating fruits, nuts and vegetables, according to the White House.

“Reduced crop pollination will reduce crop yield for some species, making food
more expensive and some crops harder to grow successfully,” said University of
Ottawa researcher Alana Pindar on a conference call for journalists.

The researchers suggested a number of steps that could temporarily help mitigate
the threat to the bees like assisted migration—a practice where authorities pick
up bees and move them—and the creation of “safe havens.” But researchers said
that humans need to handle climate change comprehensively to save the bees once
and for all.

“Climate change is clearly bad enough, but hitting bumblebee species with extra
threats can only harm them further,” said Kerr. “Above all, we must reduce
greenhouse gas pollution and come to grips convincingly with the climate change
threat.”
