Potential Effects of Climate Change on Crop Pollination
... Insect pollinators are valuable and limited resources (Delaplane and Mayer 2000). Currently, farmers manage only 11 of the 20 000 to 30 000 bee species worldwide (Parker et al. 1987), with the European honey bee (Apis mellifera) being by far the most important species. Depending on only a few pollin ...
