The wild cousins of beehive honeybees are disappearing – here’s why that matters.
Wild bees face risks from domesticated bees, habitat loss, and climate change. Supporting bee diversity in Ontario is an important component of promoting a healthy environment.
The nutritional needs of bees are complex and monoculture crops aren’t providing a diverse diet. Introducing more diverse wildflower meadows and green spaces could benefit wild pollinators.
Feral honeybees have become a major problem in Australia. It’s time to develop effective and practical control measures.
Miles of bee-friendly ‘highways’ are being linked up around the UK.
Celebrating the European honeybee is a misplaced opportunity to honour our forgotten native pollinators.
Are ‘murder hornets’ from Asia invading North America? A Japanese entomologist who’s been stung by one and lived to tell the tale explains what’s true about these predatory insects.
Wild things thrive in transmission pathways that crisscross states.
