Timing is Everything: Bees, Plants & Climate Change

Bees are the most important group of pollinators and are vital to the health of our planet; yet, populations have been declining significantly for a variety of reasons worldwide. This presentation will examine how climate change is impacting honey bees at different levels, including how changes in the timing and distribution of flowering plants can directly affect a honey bee’s colony foraging activity and development.

Join Melissa M. Bobowski, a biologist, Environmental Science professor at Macomb Community College, and active Board Member of Detroit-based non-profit, Bees in the D, to learn about the impacts of climate change on bees and the conservation measures that are needed to prevent a further decline in their populations.
