By carrying pollen from flower to flower, pollinator insects play an essential role in the reproductive cycle of flowering plants. Bees do more of it than any other, both here in Canada and around the world. Unfortunately, their numbers are in decline, for a variety of reasons: exposure to pesticides, disease, climate change, habitat destruction and agriculture.

To understand the situation and find ways to protect these vital species, an international research team investigated the characteristics of bee communities globally.
