Unusual Winter Activity: Bumblebees Starting Nests in Scotland

Credited from: BBC

  • Bumblebees have been spotted starting nests this winter in Scotland, a surprising behavior attributed to climate change.
  • The charity Buglife reported sightings of active worker bumblebees in Aberdeen during mild weather over the Christmas period.
  • Buglife noted that these nests face a high risk of failure due to a lack of available flowers for nectar and potential return to cold weather conditions.
  • At least two of the UK's 25 bumblebee species are believed to have commenced early nest-building, increasing concerns about their declining population.
  • The milder conditions also resulted in increased activity of ticks, which pose health risks by spreading diseases like Lyme disease.
