\nWhile honey\u00a0bees only start\u00a0flying at 8-15\u00b0C and\u00a0prefer to stay\u00a0in the hive in\u00a0bad weather, bumblebees are\u00a0true all-weather pros. Bumblebee queens\u00a0can fly at 2\u00b0C, their\u00a0workers from\u00a06\u00b0C. They owe\u00a0this robustness\u00a0to their built-in heating: by\u00a0shivering with\u00a0their flight\u00a0muscles, they\u00a0warm up their\u00a0bodies to the\u00a0required 30\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
The numbers\u00a0speak for themselves:<\/strong><\/p>\n Bumblebees have\u00a0a secret weapon\u00a0bees lack: \u2018buzz pollination\u2019 or\u00a0vibrational pollination. With\u00a0frequencies of\u00a0400-500 Hz, they\u00a0make their flight\u00a0muscles vibrate, literally\u00a0shaking the pollen\u00a0out of flowers. On Mallorca, a very special\u00a0bumblebee lives: Bombus terrestris lusitanicus, the\u00a0Iberian subspecies of the\u00a0buff-tailed bumblebee. This\u00a0Mediterranean\u00a0variant has perfectly\u00a0adapted to the\u00a0island and works\u00a0all year round\u00a0to pollinate Mediterranean\u00a0plant species. This gets\u00a0especially exciting\u00a0for us Earth\u00a0Guardians: A\u00a0single bumblebee colony\u00a0binds about\u00a060 tons of CO\u2082 per year through\u00a0pollination! How\u00a0does that work? Bumblebees enable\u00a0the reproduction\u00a0and growth of\u00a0plants through\u00a0their efficient\u00a0pollination, which\u00a0then bind CO\u2082 from the atmosphere. 1.

<\/p>\nThe Secrets\u00a0of Buzz-Pollination<\/h4>\n
\nThis technique\u00a0is especially\u00a0important for\u00a0nightshades such\u00a0as tomatoes, eggplants, and potatoes, which can hardly\u00a0be pollinated without\u00a0these vibrations. This not only\u00a0produces bigger\u00a0and more uniform\u00a0fruits, but they\u00a0also have more\u00a0vitamins and\u00a0a higher market\u00a0value.<\/p>\nThe Mallorca\u00a0Connection: Bombus terrestris lusitanicus<\/h4>\n
\nWhile Germany\u00a0is home to 36 different\u00a0bumblebee species, Mallorca\u2019s bumblebee fauna\u00a0focuses on just\u00a0a few, but all\u00a0the more important, species. Longer\u00a0periods of activity\u00a0due to the milder climate make\u00a0these bumblebees indispensable\u00a0partners for\u00a0olive groves, garrigue, and maquis habitats.<\/p>\nWhy Bumblebees Are Climate\u00a0Protectors<\/h4>\n
\nThis natural\u00a0CO\u2082-binding is\u00a0exactly what\u00a0we need for a\u00a0positive Earthprint. While big\u00a0corporations\u00a0are responsible\u00a0for 52% of global\u00a0CO\u2082 emissions, by promoting\u00a0bumblebees we\u00a0can actively\u00a0bind more CO\u2082 than we produce.<\/p>\nWhat We Can\u00a0Do for Our Bumblebee Heroes at\u00a0Fresopolis<\/h4>\n

\n
\nThe Bumblebee Mission: Together\u00a0for Our Positive\u00a0Earthprint
\nStop believing\u00a0those who say\u00a0the climate crisis\u00a0is your fault! While Saudi\u00a0Aramco emits\u00a01.8 gigatonnes of\u00a0CO\u2082 per year, we can actively\u00a0bind CO\u2082 by supporting\u00a0bumblebees and\u00a0create a positive\u00a0Earthprint.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Be\u00a0the change yourself:<\/strong> Create bumblebee paradises
\n\u2022 Take\u00a0ecological responsibility:<\/strong> Bind more CO\u2082 than you cause
\n\u2022 Act now:<\/strong> \u201cIf something needs\u00a0to be done and\u00a0you want to be\u00a0sure it\u2019s done\u00a0\u2013 do it yourself!\u201d<\/p>\nBecome an\u00a0Earth Guardian\u00a0and Protector\u00a0of Bumblebees<\/h4>\n

Conclusion: The\u00a0Fuzzy Climate\u00a0Saviors<\/h4>\n
\nAt Fresopolis and in\u00a0your home, these\u00a0fuzzy superheroes\u00a0can become a\u00a0key species for\u00a0our positive\u00a0Earthprint. Every\u00a0supported bumblebee means\u00a0more pollinated plants, more CO\u2082 binding, and a more active\u00a0contribution\u00a0to climate protection.<\/p>\n![\"\ud83c\udf0d\"](\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/svg\/1f30d.svg\")
