For World Bee Day, take a moment to appreciate native bees
Honeybees get most of our attention, but there are thousands of species of wild bee species and many are disappearing.
In South Dakota’s Badlands National Park, a brown-belted bumblebee visits a sunflower to collect pollen. Native to much of the United States, this species is a generalist and pollinates a range of different flowers.

Clay Bolt first laid eyes on a rusty patched bumblebee impaled on a pin in an insect collection at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 2014. Brown and dull yellow with a faded rust-colored patch on its abdomen, the fuzzy, dime-sized relic got him thinking about the species’ precarious status in the wild.

In a Utah garden, a hoary squash bee visits a squash blossom, just one of a myriad of food plants that provide pollen and nectar for native insects. (Photo by Clay Bolt) ON A RECENT MORNING in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, Karin Jokela and her daughter, two-year-old Ani, are exploring the wildlife flitting and buzzing about their backyard produce garden. Ani inspects a bumble bee on a coneflower, one of many native flowering plants growing among Jokela’s vegetables, herbs and berries. “Is this the mama bee?” Ani asks, leaning closer clearly intrigued by the busy visitor.

With less travel and limited socializing during the coronavirus pandemic, we re all seeking more of a connection with nature. Escaping to the outdoors, we re revived by the sights and soothed by the smell of flowers and trees. We re reminded that every living thing depends on another.
