An extremely rare blue bee that was last seen four years ago has been rediscovered by a researcher 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.
