    1. Artificial pollination exists but is costly, inefficient, and cannot replace natural pollinators on a global scale.

      I know this may sound silly, but I had not known about artificial pollination! I wanted to share a video I watched about it (https://youtu.be/FAZ82x-Tmw0?si=UqFizxbBXoWz8vWF) and in the video Dr. Broussard mentions that artificial pollination has been happening for over 50 years! I was surprised hearing that as I had thought it was something that existed very recently.

    2. Climate change worsens pollinator decline, and pollinator decline weakens nature’s defense against climate change.

      Reading this makes me wonder what steps can we take to mitigate the impacts on plants and pollinators as our climate patterns continue to shift with the increase of temperature? I just don't think realistically we can reverse climate change or stop it unless laws get put into place on a global scale, which is why I want to know maybe some ideas that can at least help mitigate it. What pollinators are most prone or most at risk to the impacts of climate change?
