Climate change is affecting the life rhythms of bees<\/strong> with negative consequences for crops that rely on their pollination services. This is supported by a study<\/a> from the University of Reading<\/strong> in the United Kingdom. Warmer springs, in particular, would be causing British bees to wake up earlier with the result that they lose synchronization with plants.<\/p>\n By leaving the nest earlier, in other words, the insects may lack the energy needed to pollinate crops effectively<\/strong> or may miss flowering altogether. This problem would spill over into the plant life cycle ultimately leading to a reduction in available food.<\/p>\n
