Climate change can impact the availability of food for pollinators from "summary" of The Forgotten Pollinators by Stephen L. Buchmann,Gary Paul Nabhan
As our planet warms, the delicate balance of ecosystems is being disrupted, leading to unforeseen consequences for pollinators. The availability of food for these essential creatures is at risk due to the changing climate. With rising temperatures and shifting weather patterns, the plants that pollinators rely on for nectar and pollen may not bloom when expected, or may not produce as much food as before. This disruption in the timing and quantity of food sources can have a profound impact on the health and survival of pollinators. Bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinating species depend on a steady supply of nectar and pollen to sustain themselves and their colonies. Without enough food, these valuable creatures may struggle to reproduce, maintain their populations, or even survive in the long term. Furthermore, climate change can also alter the distribution and abundance of plant species that pollinators ...
