It's already September
Well, we are entering the home stretch for bumble bees in South Dakota. We are up to 19 species seen in South Dakota, including Western Bumble Bee (thanks Rebnewt!!) and Southern Plains Bumble Bee. Many of the bees we will see from now on will be either drones or queens. The cooler temperatures will allow for really nice photos. All the information is helping the bees, other pollinators, and natural areas across the state.
