– B. Turner, via email Whether you’ve noticed it or not, far fewer bees are around nowadays. One-quarter of the world’s 20,000 bee species are in precipitous decline or have already gone extinct since 1990. A range of causes are to blame, including indiscriminate overuse of pesticides, loss of plants, and habitat destruction from human encroachment. But the latest and greatest threat is now climate change, which is warping the bees’ environments (blooming seasons, plant diversity, etc.) at a faster rate than they are able to adapt. Today in the U.S., only eight bee species are afforded protection under the Endangered Species Act. Seven are found only in Hawaii while the other, the rusty patched bumblebee, occupies the tallgrass prairie of the Upper Midwest, most of which has been lost to farmland, strip malls and housing developments. Rusty patched bee populations have fallen off by 87% as a result.
