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.
