Are beetles agents of pollination?

What pests are controlled by wildfires?
Southern Pine Beetles. They will infest pine trees causing them to die and any trees near them they will infest also. The best treatment for them is to set fire to the forest and destroy any infested trees. The fire doesn't damage the healthy trees but will wipe out any infected tree and all the pine beetles.

Why are the pine beetles not dying off?
Pine beetles are not dying off largely due to climate change, which has led to warmer winters that do not sufficiently kill off their populations. Additionally, drought conditions can weaken trees, making them more susceptible to infestations. The lack of natural predators and the adaptation of beetles to various environments also contribute to their resilience and continued proliferation.
What can be done in the future to stop the spread of pine shoot beetles?
There doesn't seem to be any chemical means of controlling pine shoot beetles. Nothing effective has been developed yet. In Europe, where the beetle is native, the practice of debarking of cut timber as soon as trees are felled seems to help.The pine shoot beetle does have at least one predator, Thanasimus formicarius Linnacus (TfL). TfL beetles feed on pine shoot beetles and each can consume at several each day. The problem with treating the infestation in the US with the pine shoot beetles natural enemy is the introduction of yet another alien species.The only effective course of action in the US other than the timing of debarking the Europeans use is the quarantine of affected tree varieties from state to state transport, at least until a more effective means of treatment can be established.
