Bhubaneswar, May 9 -- Rising temperatures worldwide due to climate change are putting bumblebees, vital for global pollination, in jeopardy. Just like humans, bumblebees are feeling the impact of climate change. A recent study points to rising temperatures as a key reason for the drop in bumblebee populations globally.

The heat is affecting their ability to build suitable nests where young larvae can grow healthy. While it's been hard to pinpoint how exactly climate change is affecting these bees, a new study has delved into their capacity to rear healthy larvae, which suffers due to inadequate nests.

Dr. Peter Kevan from the University of Guelph, Canada, and lead author of the study, explained, "The limitations on bumblebee offspring s...
