(PhysOrg.com) -- Across the country, pollinators such as honeybees and hummingbirds are declining due to habitat loss, diseases such as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), pests and excessive pesticide use. Penn State researchers and educators are hoping to help combat these issues by promoting ways home gardeners can help pollinator populations thrive. http://www.physorg.com/news175194346.html Biology Mon, 19 Oct 2009 18:20:01 EST news175194346 Bees provide crucial pollination service to numerous crops and up to a third of the human diet comes from plants pollinated by insects. However, pollinating bees are suffering widespread declines in North America and scientists warn that this could have serious implications for agriculture and food supply. While the cause of these declines has largely been a mystery, new research reveals an alarming spread of disease from commercial bees to wild pollinators. http://www.physorg.com/news136010014.html Biology Wed, 23 Jul 2008 05:33:34 EST news136010014 Good pollen makes bees hot, biologists at UC San Diego have found. Wasps warm up too when they find protein-rich meat, a separate experiment has shown. http://www.physorg.com/news134968669.html Biology Fri, 11 Jul 2008 04:17:49 EST news134968669
