The Environmental Impact of Bees Killed by Cars

A new study published in the journal Sustainable Environment reveals that millions of bees are killed annually by cars in the U.S., posing significant threats to the environment and economy. Researchers in Utah used sticky traps on car bumpers to estimate bee casualties, finding that a single 230-mile trip could kill up to 175 bees. With bees being crucial pollinators for about a third of the world's food supply, their declining populations, exacerbated by road collisions, could have severe ecological and economic consequences. The study suggests planting vegetation on road sides rather than medians to help mitigate bee deaths.
