Rio 5,088 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 1 hour ago, FfFfFfFF said: Insect researchers are buzzing in Florida this week over the rediscovery of the blue bee, a rare little creature thought to have gone extinct shortly after it was discovered. Researchers in Florida say the blue calamintha bee (Osmia calaminthae) has been spotted for the first time since 2016, stoking hopes that it might be possible to save the insect from extinction. Blue calamintha bees nest alone and feed on Ashe’s Calamint, a threatened plant found only in Florida. The bees were first recorded in 2011 and dropped out of sight a few years later, despite calls to protect their threatened habitat in central Florida. The bee is a hyper-local species that likely evolved around an isolated patch of sand dunes along the central Florida ridge, according to Jaret Daniels, Kimmel’s adviser at the museum. They hope to figure out exactly how many of the bees live in the area. “Having this bee in more abundance than we expected is really encouraging for its survival,” Kimmel told Weather.com. After capturing a bee, researchers place it in a plastic bag with a hole to photograph its head before releasing it. Pollen left in the bag is analyzed to determine which flowers the bee visited. “We’re trying to fill in a lot of gaps that were not previously known,” Kimmel said. “It shows how little we know about the insect community and how there’s a lot of neat discoveries that can still occur.” Sources: https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/floridas-rare-blue-calamintha-bee-rediscovered/, https://globalnews.ca/news/6944098/blue-bee-calamintha-extinct-florida/ omg pet worthy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
