(Phys.org) —A trio of researchers working at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, has found that bee populations in tropical climates may hold the key to assuring food for humans as the population grows in the future. In their paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the team describes how in studying bee populations in tropical zones over ice age cycles they've found that those that adapted may provide the key to future adaptability of humans as more food becomes necessary to feed a growing population.
