What: How are U.S. bee species faring in light of the major threats they are facing? What more do we need to know to protect them? There are over 3,600 species of bees in the United States, but we only know the conservation status of about 20% of those species. This makes it difficult to make decisions about how to prioritize bee conservation. Join Saff Killingsworth, Xerces Endangered Species Conservation Biologist and State of the Bees Initiative, to discuss how conservation biologists decide which bees are imperiled and which bees are safe, highlight some interesting bees of conservation concern, and talk about the Xerces Society’s effort to understand the conservation status of all U.S. bee species.
