It's a Different Year

Last year I could find Hunt's Bumblebees every place I looked. This year I haven't seen one. All the bumblebees seem to be late in coming out. I will post some photos from the weekend and Tuesday. The bumblebees seemed large and the same even though in different locations.

Hope you are seeing some interesting bumblebees where you are.

Great news - we are almost totally funded for the Great Plains (SD, ND, KS portion) Bumblebee Atlas. We will be getting the cooperative agreement ready with the Xerces Society and then looking for help to conduct surveys. Stay tuned.
