An Overlooked Perspective

Researchers at UC San Diego have found that honeybees, much like humans, are affected by circadian rhythms and sleep patterns, particularly in relation to artificial light exposure—a growing concern amid increasing light pollution globally. A study revealed that up to 83% of the world’s population lives under constant light pollution, which can disrupt honeybee sleep, impair memory, navigation, and communication essential for pollination. As bees struggle to find dark resting places, their ability to perform vital ecological roles may be compromised, ultimately threatening hive survival and food production. Experts emphasize the need for greater awareness of light pollution’s impact on biodiversity and suggest practical measures to mitigate its effects, such as using motion sensor lights and supporting conservation organizations dedicated to protecting pollinators.
