The bee’s population has been on the decline, but this recent sighting could mean good news for rare bee species and bumblebees in the region.

Occasionally, though, Missouri's official state insects make their homes in inconvenient places. One local beekeeper is known for stepping in to help.

Once-forgotten data found in the archives of the Missouri Botanical Garden have become a springboard for St. Louis scientists studying how climate change may affect the survival of native plants in the future.
