Scientists rediscover rarest US bumblebee
In this article you will read about how scientists from the University of California, Riverside have recently stumbled across the rarest bumblebee species in the white mountains of New Mexico. The "Cockerell's Bumblebee" was last seen in 1956. This is pretty exciting being that there are only about 50 native species of native bumblee and most are on the verge of extinction. Using advanced tools and studies they will find out if they are in environmental danger of being extinct as well.
