Bumblebees behave differently in areas with more honeybees. Does this represent competition and what can we do about it? Really, we need to learn more. Great to have funding from @researchireland.ie to continue this work, and hopefully provide better advice for beekeeping and conservation
🐝🕵️♀️ Honeybee activity linked to smaller bumblebees in heather habitats
A new study has revealed that bumblebee workers are getting smaller in areas with high honeybee activity.
