Research published in January 2025 from Penn State revealed a shocking truth: flies, the world's second most important pollinators, are more vulnerable to climate change than bees—and that threatens chocolate, mangoes, and 72% of global food crops. But almost nobody noticed. Kelly breaks down the study everyone missed, explains why flies lose motor function at temperatures 2.3°C lower than bees, explores what this means for everything from alpine ecosystems to tropical cacao farms, and shares why this billion-dollar crisis isn't getting the attention it deserves.
