Wild honeybies in southern California are eating food supply of native pollpers – a new study has been found in a new study, creating a possible threat to the natural ecosystems of the region.
These wild insects, which have spread a lot in southern California, removes about 80 percent pollen during the first day, a flower opens, according to the study, published on Monday, published on Monday, published on Monday.Pest protection and diversity,
Study authors stated that all bees in the region rely on pollen to increase their offspring, with most bee species around the world.
According to the study, to satisfy thousands of indigenous bees per day during the extreme blooming season, only 2.5 acres of indigenous vegetation to the hanibi is sufficient.
A statement, an assistant professor at the University of Oklahoma, stated, “Although Honeybee is considered an indispensable property for humans, they can also create a serious ecological threat to natural ecosystems, where they are not original.”
The plight of the Honeyi, explained by the clutter, should be seen as a case of animal husbandry – the branch of agriculture that focuses on increasing animals for food and other items.
“When it comes to conservation issues in North America, there is a possibility to be a part of the honeybee problem, not a target for solution or protection,” Hung said, who earned a PhD from California University-San Diego.
Because Honeybee is larger than most of the native bee species of the region, they now make about 98 percent of all bee biomass in the Southern California ecosystem, the researchers calculated.
If the pollen and nectar that fuel the honeybee biomass was converted into indigenous bees instead, those population would be about 50 times larger than today, according to the study.
To draw their conclusions, the authors used pollen-pillar experiments in spring 2021 to understand the amount of pollen extracted by the honeybees from three common native plants: black sages, white sages and distant phechelia, or scorpion weeds.
Scientists measured the Honeybi attack for three species to produce flowers, flowers, pollen generation and pollen removal. He noticed that only two honeybee sessions led to the removal of more than 60 percent of the pollen available in all plants.
“Honeybies are incredibly effective in removing resources such as pollen and nectar,” said in a statement, the lead author Dillon Travis, who earned a PhD from UC-San San Diego, in a statement.
Unlike most of the indigenous bee species of the region, the locations of Honeybee food sources can communicate to other nests, Travis explained. This enables them to remove most pollen from quickly, often the native bees started searching for food early in the morning. “
The authors warned, “Removal of biomass and pollen relative to Honeybee is estimated that both indigenous bee pointed to the potentially large negative effects of Honeybee on the population.”
Joshua Kohan, co-writer at Ecology-San Diego Professor Emeritus, also “saw an extraordinary number of individual native bees, which were larger or larger than Honeybey.”
He said in a statement, “There were especially rare bumbled bees, which made only 0.1 percent of all the bees we observed,” he said in a statement.
Assuming that bees are generally at risk of habitat losses, climate change and impact of environmental contamination, researchers indicated this extreme level of Honeybee pollen exploitation as another possible threat.
“Public anxiety for Honeybi often fails to consider their potential negative effects on native pollpers,” the authors concluded.
