I discovered the elusive chestnut mining bee in New York after a gap of 119 years

For decades, there was no record of Andrena rehni exisiting in the US. In 2018 it was found in Maryland and five years later I found it in New York State

The Bee That Everyone Wants to Save

My neighbour has 50 hives, the road has 30 more. That's 4 million honeybees, and not one of them is the bee that actually needs saving.
