NASA | Feeling the Sting of Climate Change

The video explores the intricate relationship between pollinators like honey bees and flowering plants, highlighting how climate change is causing plants to bloom earlier each year. NASA satellites have observed this shift, and field data from honey bees confirm that pollination is also occurring earlier. This synchronization is crucial for ecosystems and agriculture, as bees play a vital role in pollination. Citizen scientists are helping to gather data across different environments to better understand these changes. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding plant-pollinator interactions to mitigate the impacts of climate change on food production.
