Thrilled to have my first paper published in @ScienceMagazine today. Thanks to my amazing co-author @foteini_pas!
We show how #Bumblebees make plants flower earlier - bumblebees are gardening!

Unlike honey bees, bumblebees do not have a permanent colony. In autumn, each colony dies and only the young, mated queens hibernate, ready for spring when they start a new nest.
