In the 1980s, farmers began using captive-bred bumblebees to pollinate crops that couldn't be adequately pollinated by honeybees, such as greenhouse tomatoes. Now, decades later, the impact on native species and habitats is finally coming into focus. Our latest feature by @judeisabella.bsky.social:
