A rare blue bee scientists thought might have become extinct has been rediscovered in Florida

The metallic navy insect, a blue calamintha bee, had only been previously found in four areas"totaling just 16 square miles of pine scrub habitat at Central Florida's Lake Wales Ridge," the Florida Museum said in a news release.The discovery marks an incredible breakthrough as scientists race to learn more about the blue bee, which is currently listed by Florida's State Wildlife Action Plan as a species of greatest conservation need.

Before the discovery, the blue bees were only found in four locations along the southern portion of the Lake Wales Ridge. This spring, Kimmel was able to record the blue bee in seven new areas they were never spotted in before, proving their known range is larger than scientists thought."It is still very rare and can take many hours and days to find it which reinforces how rare it can be.

Does it make honey?, is the honey sweet?

Osmia must never be destroyd

...and then he killed it.

USA stupid they believe what every India says 😂 used yourself analysis? When we sleeping we stop moving ( we can off ) insects will come when you clean ) that their jobs until we wake up ) their is billions microbes around us that not off us it insect ? You funny stupides

It's a warning to all the other blue bees stay out of my garden or else

and in response, researchers harpooned the rare insect so they could add it to their bug collection.

We have seen tiny, blue bees in east central Fl.

I hope that wasn't the last one.

And he killed it Un fn. believable! Shame, shame, shame on them.

Even bees are democrats? Thought they were intelligent insects. Not so.

Same bee?

Dude said “black yellow, black yellow, ohhh yellow blue” and went on the rock one of the hardest fits

Yes,rare and spear shoot the poor thing🐝

Extinct now

Great job killing it 🙄

Can a blue bee get blue balls?

Then you guys killed it..

So, you find a rare and beautiful insect and what do you do? You stick it with a pin so you can display it on a board. You don't nurture it. You don't protect it so it can reproduce. You KILL IT TO SATISFY YOUR EGO AND FILL YOUR COLLECTION. How human of you!

While waiting for paycheck to paycheck you can earn more than $8500 in a week, you don’t send money to anyone, Ask me how?

... rare enough to be harpooned

Well he’s dead now so 🤷‍♂️
