Climate change poses a significant threat to honey bee populations worldwide. This question seeks to identify the most critical steps that can be taken to mitigate the impacts of climate change on honey bee populations.
Just to ensure the colonies get proper resources (nectar, pollen, water) all along the season. This may include flora management, water supply, supplementary feeding.
Protect wild-living (free-living) honeybees as a wild species, and safeguard their natural habitats. In these environments, they continually adapt to local conditions in synchrony with the many plant and animal species with which they co-evolve. This long-term ecological integration builds resilience to environmental change. Wild honeybees have survived millions of years, including periods of extreme climate fluctuation, by adapting within their ecosystems. By conserving them as a wild species, we maintain the evolutionary processes and genetic diversity that will enable them to persist in the face of ongoing changes in climate.
most critical step should be awareness of importance and management amongst beekeepers and community, and then to protect free living bees so that they can act as mother colonies and increase number through natural swarming. Identification and development of flora rich sites.
