Study finds glacier melting may heighten disease threats to bees.

Research from the University of Lausanne indicates that melting glaciers may heighten disease transmission risks between wild bees and honeybees. Collaborating with the Universities of Milan and Italy’s Crea research organization, scientists examined bee populations near the Mont-Mine Glacier in Val d’Herens, focusing on three viruses and two parasites, as reported by SWI on Monday.
