There’s nothing quite like the gentle buzz of a bumblebee to let you know summer’s approaching.

But the distinct hum could soon become a rarity – as climate change is reducing the frequency and pitch of wing vibrations, according to scientists.

Experts warned this could have consequences for the effectiveness of bee communication and their role as pollinators.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you.
