How to protect bumblebees from heat

Flower quality may be also reduced caused by low humidity and high radiant heath. Even at 28° C, pollination can be reduced if the humidity is too low [...] their ability to transfer pollen effectively. These challenges can lead to reduced pollination rates and lower crop yields. Bumblebees try to maintain a t [...] in any environmental conditions. Above 28°C the pollination capacity is reduced as their activity is focused on cooling the hive. Above 32°C pollination
