UK charity protecting bumblebees and their habitat
A study from the Bumblebee Conservation Trust shows UK bumblebees struggle to fly and forage as heatwaves push body temperatures toward lethal levels. Data from 2022 reveals declines in red-tailed, buff-tailed and common carder bumblebees, with concerns about ongoing drought and climate trends. Some species are faring better this spring, but the year remains uncertain.
