Climate change affects bee population
Warm weather in Croatia is causing the country’s bee population to come out of hibernation prematurely.
Published On 11 Jan 2014
In the last few years, a third of the bee population has been lost in Europe. According to the Croatia’s National Beekeeper’s Association, there are 9,000 bee keepers with a bee population of nearly 500,000.
In Croatia, unseasonably warm weather is causing bees to come out of hibernation earlier in the year and has given Croatian officials a cause to worry.
And as Al Jazeera’s Simon McGregor-Wood reports, it could mean bad news all round.
