<div dir="ltr">Buzz word: climate change. <div>Climate change is certainly important, but most species will be able to adapt if their resources are preserved and they are not subjected to pesticides - it may be that this bee in the cold of the arctic is better off than our "common" everyday bees given that there is little habitat clearing (not for livestock, which is something that is overlooked in many pollinator studies - at least crops can provide resources for some species, and without the trampling of nesting habitat), and certainly no pesticide use where agriculture. In fact, longer growing seasons in the arctic may benefit it! Just my thoughts anyway...</div><div>Thanks for sharing!</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 13 October 2016 at 01:10, Peter Bernhardt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bernhap2@slu.edu" target="_blank">bernhap2@slu.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Front page article in the Science Section of The New York Times yesterday (11 Oct.).

Does it make a big difference when the journalist is invited on a field trip?
