Be kind. Be generous. Be of service. 🐝
In unvanquishable number
Shake your chains to the earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many, they are few
Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1819

The maximum critical temperature for #bumblebees - which leads to an unresponsive state in turn preceded by muscular spasms - is arrived at somewhere between 40°C & 53°C depending on the species & duration of the stress.

Sticking with temperature related bumblebee facts:
When ambient air temperature reaches 35°C, the thoracic temperature of flying #bumblebees approaches 45°C ; a temperature close to the limit which is lethal to the #bees.

32°C is in or around the upper limit of temperatures at which #bumblebees will tend to forage - a temperature that many species in the Northern Hemisphere will experience more and more as #climate breakdown really kicks in.

Where the ambient temperature is elevated the learning and memory abilities of #bumblebees are severely impacted.
This seriously affects the capability of bumblebee workers to provide adequate nutrition to the colony.

10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

"We need to go back further, to a time around 15 million years ago known as the Middle Miocene Climate Optimum to find carbon dioxide levels comparable to what they are now."

Research suggests that even relatively short periods (a matter of hours) of exposure to heatwave‐like temperatures can severely impair the cognitive performance of insects including #bumblebees.

Bumblebees are central place foragers - they locate floral resources, fly to them as efficiently as possible, determine the most rewarding flowers, memorise their location, return food to the nest and then remember/repeat!
