<div dir="ltr">I've noticed lots of "bee hotels" being made by artists and are installed in public gardens, including our museum. Does anyone know if there is any research on the spread of disease or increased mortality associated with these high density high rise structures, especially after the first year?<div>

Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Today I discovered that the filled bar from Endangered Species Chocolate<br>
(<a href="http://chocolatebar.com/" target="_blank">http://chocolatebar.com/</a>) featuring a bumble bee has finally reached the<br>
stores! You may remember almost a year ago there was a social media campaign<br>
to select two new animals for ESC?s wrappers. The two winners of that vote<br>
were a bumble bee and a monk seal.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The bumble bee bar is ?Blueberry Vanilla Cr?me Filled Dark Chocolate.? Not<br>
only is it yummy?we had the privilege of tasting it in advance!?but it<br>
supports conservation of the rusty patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis). Open<br>
out the wrapper and you?ll find a profile of the bee. In addition, the<br>
Xerces Society is proud to be included in ESC?s 10% GiveBack program, so<br>
purchasing the bar will help support conservation efforts for the bee.<br>
<br>
<br>
