"Bees have many different ways of building their homes.
Many people will be familiar with the hives of European honeybees, often found
in tree cavities. But many other bees – including many of Australia’s roughly
2,000 species of native bees – build their nests underground, in plant stems or
in wood cavities.
Our new paper published in
Nature Communications shows that the extent to
which native Australian bees can cope with increasing heat depends on the type
of nest they use.
Surprisingly, the species that are the most tolerant to heat are also the most
vulnerable to future warming."
