Warmer autumns and winters could reduce honey bee overwintering survival with potential risks for pollination services

Abstract Honey bees and other pollinators are critical for food production and nutritional security but face multiple survival challenges. The effect of climate change on honey bee colony losses is only recently being explored. While correlations between higher winter temperatures and greater colony...
