A rare find of bees links the French Alps to remote regions of Turkey

Bees are primary pollinators that play a vital role in our ecosystems. However, bee species are declining due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. As a result, it is more important than ever to discover and protect new bee species.

In a recent study, a group of researchers from France and Turkey discovered a new population of a rare bee species Andrena morio in the French Alps. The bee was previously thought to be found only in a small number of places in southern Europe, including Turkey, Greece and Italy.

The discovery of a bee in the French Alps suggests that it may have a much wider distribution than previously thought. The researchers believe that the bee may have colonized the French Alps from Turkey during a warmer climate in the past.

The discovery of a bee in the French Alps is an important step in the conservation of this rare species. The researchers hope that their findings will help raise awareness of the importance of bees and the need to protect their habitat.

The discovery of a rare species of bee in the French Alps has revealed a surprising link with remote regions of Turkey. This discovery is an important step in the conservation of this rare species and highlights the importance of bees to our ecosystems.
