How Clearcut Areas are Impacting the Decline of Bee Populations
Recent research from the University of British Columbia has found that bees are more likely to flock to clearcut areas than to forests. The study, which was published in the journal Ecology, shows that bees are more likely to forage in clearcut areas for 6-7 years after the logging has been completed. This finding is significant because it means that clearcuts may be a refuge for bees, especially when other habitats are declining. It could also be an important tool for land managers looking to protect bee populations.
