Bumble Bee Summer

Helped the State of Utah launch a survey program for bumble bees in 2021 and continuing this year. Trained up lots of agency folks in 2021 on the federal survey protocol and even found a few of the rare species we were after (not pictured), Bombus occidentalis (Western bumble bee), with their help! Good to contribute recent sightings to the Fish & Wildlife Service. Listing decision for this bee is next year.
