Warmer autumns and winters reduce the winter survival of bees

Contrary to what one might think, warm autumns and winters are not a positive thing for bees. Research shows how rising temperatures in these seasons negatively impact the ability of colonies to survive the winters. Tropical bees are accustomed to mild and even warm winters. However, for bees in colder regions, warm winters pose a significant problem, as it affects their behavior and their way of overwintering.
