It seems remarkable that bumblebees, with their relatively tiny wings, can fly. An analysis of bumblebee wings in museum collections, is revealing information about environmental stress experienced by these insects (https://www.technologynetworks.com/applied-sciences/news/museum-collections-show-bees-have-become-increasingly-stressed-by-climate-changes-in-the-last-100-364839#:~:text=An%20analysis%20of%20bumblebee%20wings%20from%20a%20network,most%20stress%20and%20potential%20decline%20in%20the%20future.).
