Impact of Climate Change on Stingless Bees in Colombia

A study conducted between the University of Kansas and the National University of Colombia demonstrated that seven of the nine species of stingless bees, primarily used in meliponiculture, are prone to damage due to the effects of climate change. It is estimated that these species could lose up to half of their natural environments and habitats by 2050. This variety of insects, also known as angelitas, faces a serious risk if adequate measures are not taken.
