    With the climate warming the plant food that insects rely on are gone by the time the insects mature. We are dead without insects.

    Mistimed phenology (cycle coordination) is a huge issue. We had a crazy warm winter and the ground has now warmed two months early, and woke up the wild pollinators. They are ravenously hungry now, but there is no nectar availble for them to recharge. Everything is still brown and nothing is blooming yet. They are starving to death before they can start this year’s broods. It’s horrible. We can only hope enough new ones will fill in from elsewhere when the flowers/trees finally bloom (the drought is a whole ‘nother cataclysmic problem) or it is could be a catastrophe this year. I don’t think there are nearly enough domestic bees to do the job.
