<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We have a recent post on Cool Green Science about bringing back native bumble bees in the United States:
<a href="https://blog.nature.org/science/2017/07/11/recovery-bringing-back-bumble-bees-endangered-native/">
https://blog.nature.org/science/2017/07/11/recovery-bringing-back-bumble-bees-endangered-native/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">It features the work of Robbin Thorp, Sydney Cameron, Clay Bolt, the Xerces Society, and more. The story also includes information on the endangered rusty patched bumble bee, the presumed extinct Franklin’s
bumble bee, and advice on how people can help provide habitat for native bumble bees. I thought that you would all be interested.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
