Scientists from Flinders University looked at bees in Fiji. They studied these bees for many years. The bees are lowland sweat bees. They are part of a group called Lasioglossum. The team wanted to learn how these bees live and grow.
Some Bees in Fiji Adapt When Homes Change
Normal
Most animals struggle when their homes change. But the team found something surprising. These native bees did not just survive. They actually thrived after their habitats changed. The bees evolved special traits over time. These traits help them resist changes caused by people.
The bees can change their bodies to fit new places. Bigger bodies help bees live in different areas. Their flexibility is a key to success. The team shared their findings with the world. The study shows that some animals can adapt when the environment changes.
