It may sound counterintuitive—after all, earlier springs mean longer growing seasons for flowering plants, which should be a boon for the bees that rely on them for food. But the study suggests that longer springs also come with certain risks, such as frost events early in the season or droughts later in the summer. These events can cause flowers to decline at certain points throughout the season. That’s bad news for bees, which need constant, abundant resources to keep their colonies alive until winter.
