    DescriptionYouTube video on our recent research on Dr David Gregory-Kumar's YouTub channel:
    Bees are struggling to find flowers because of air pollution. Research carried out by the University of Birmingham shows higher levels of ozone in the air drastically reduces the chemical signals plants use to attract pollinators. That in turn makes it much harder for bees to find them.
