One of the most important roles in terms of the continuity of life on Earth. to the bees fall. Thanks to bees, flowers and trees survive. On the other hand, bees are under increasing stress.

The reason for the stress problem that bees experience is: global warming and the resulting climate change. By comparing the changes in bees since the 1900s, the researchers revealed how serious the problem was.

The development of bees is severely hampered

Imperial College London and Natural History Museum published the results of two different studies on bees. The first of these studies from 1900 Since then, he has focused on examining the data collected on the body structure of bees. The study, which used digital imaging techniques, found that the symmetry of the bees’ wings was disrupted by stress.

In a study of bee species in England, since 1925 It turned out that the stress on the bees was increasing. Moreover, this situation was observed more or less the same in all different bee breeds. Journal of Animal Ecology The article published in the journal states that asymmetry in bee wings reaches its highest level in years when average temperatures are higher and rainfall is more frequent.

In another study, 130 years ago bee remains, which are kept in museums to this day, were examined for DNA research. By taking a DNA sample from one of the bees’ legs, scientists have created a DNA sample for studies. key gene managed to determine. Studies on this gene have shown that the genetic diversity of bees has decreased.

Scientists now against climate change It will reveal how it adapts (or does not) with detailed analysis. It is worth recalling once again that our species will not live long after the bees are extinct.
