Endangered Bee Species Receives Habitat Protection in Six States

A rare and endangered bee species, once prevalent across the United States, has seen its habitat protected in six states due to significant population declines. Previously found in approximately half of the country, recent surveys indicate that sightings are now limited to around a dozen states. This protection is crucial for the survival of the species and highlights the ongoing challenges faced by pollinators. Residents in the affected states should be aware of conservation efforts and their importance in maintaining biodiversity.
