In this story we speak with Ian Campbell, a beekeeper and spokesperson for the British Beekeepers Association, at his apiary near Newcastle. Ian has been keeping bees for decades, witnessing firsthand how a changing climate is reshaping their behaviour and the environment they depend on.He explains how extreme weather, unpredictable seasons, and shifting ecosystems are making it harder for colonies to thrive, from disrupted flowering patterns to food shortages and disease.
