Yes, spring flowers are blooming earlier. It might confuse bees. | The Source | Washington University in St. Louis<https://source.wustl.edu/2021/03/yes-spring-flowers-are-blooming-earlier-it-might-confuse-bees/>
More species are blooming at the same time than in the past. Matthew Austin, biodiversity postdoctoral fellow with the Living Earth Collaborative at Washington University in St. Louis, is studying how changes in flower timing affect ecological and evolutionary dynamics of pollination systems.
