🐝 High CO2 is shrinking biggest bee populations

Scientists found that rising atmospheric carbon dioxide is negatively impacting the world's largest bees. This observation was made by researchers examining bee communities across 25 sites with naturally varying CO2 levels. The study noted that larger bees became less abundant and showed lower genetic diversity as CO2 concentrations increased. This occurs because high CO2 alters plant nutrition, making it harder for large bees to meet energy needs. Protecting these vital pollinators requires addressing CO2 emissions, not just temperature changes. 🐝
