Bumblebee (and Many Other) Populations on the Decline due to Global Warming

        Bumblebee populations have been declining over the past few years due to global warming. Bumblebees are accustomed to moderate temperatures, and in the Southern regions of Europe and North America, it has become too hot for the bees to survive. Instead of migrating north, they are staying in the Southern regions and dying off. Many other animal populations are also in danger due to global warming including sea turtles, polar bears, and orangutans.

Solutions to reduce population decline include reducing the amount of pesticides used, making your own artificial nests, and planting more wildflowers and trees for bees. Barriers to these solutions include people being unaware, and using pesticides being easier than organically growing crops. Personally I feel that bees are some of our most important and underrated workers, and they need much more attention and protection than they are receiving.
