Wild bees are more affected by climate change than by disturbances to their habitats, according to a team of researchers led by Penn State. The findings suggest that addressing land-use issues alone will not be sufficient to protecting these important pollinators. Our study found that the most critical factor influencing wild bee abundance and species diversity was the weather, particularly temperature and precipitation, said Christina Grozinger, Distinguished Professor of Entomology and director of the Center for Pollinator Research, Penn State. In the Northeastern United States, past trends and future predictions show a changing climate with warmer winters, more intense precipitation in
