New bee species found thriving in former Arctic nuke site

"We come fer yer pollen, Chuck!"
[RT] A species of bee has been discovered that is miraculously capable of surviving in the high arctic region where the Soviet Union once tested nuclear weapons for decades, according to a new study.
The ‘Bombus glacialis’ species lives on the archipelago of Novaya Zemlya, which the Soviet Union closed off decades ago to carry out scores of nuclear tests. While previously considered to be a subspecies of the B. polaris - one of the only other arctic bee types in the world - a recent study published in Polar Biology confirmed B. glacialis to be its own species.

#1 Could be a game changer for hive additions in cold areas. We typically use Italian bees here because they are gentle. Would love to try a queen depending on their behavior and honey production.

#2 Mutant cold weather bees that live in the dark?
Sounds like an orbital hydroponics species to me.

#3 Of course they can survive in the Arctic.
They're glowing so much from radiation they give off heat.
Coming soon to an infrared seeker missile defense system way too close to you!
