Not at Home on the Range: Drought Leads to Long Recovery for Bumble Bees
Grasslands bumble bees decimated by drought face years of struggle before they are once again at home on the range, say researchers from North Dakota State University.

A severe drought in North Dakota in 2021 slashed bumble bee populations by 98%, and recovery has lagged for years, a new study shows. Researchers say the findings highlight that climate-driven drought can disrupt pollinators long after ecosystems appear to rebound.
