A major study of Australian native bees found that stem-nesting species may be the first to feel the impact of climate change. Unlike bees that nest underground, they have few ways to escape dangerous heat. Researchers also discovered that tropical bees are particularly vulnerable, even when they are already adapted to hot environments. The findings suggest bee behavior could be a key factor in determining which species survive a warming world.

New #gardening video up! You can choose to see it on my blog, read the script on my blog, watch me on YouTube for a chance of seeing Mr. Freddy "the kitty" Mercury, or listen to it, visuals aren't necessary.
I made another video! The first one I did relied more on the audio than the pictures, and I decided I was going to lean into that, and make things people could listen to while working in the gardenโฆ
