Bumble bee queens are out and about! We've started seeing them in east central IL over the past couple weeks. This is a great time to go bee spotting, as you're more likely to spot a queen at the beginning of the season than any other time!

Thank you to everyone who has been working so hard to #SaveBellBowlPrairie for rare/endangered species like the #RustyPatchedBumbleBee! A bit of good news late last week - @FlyRFD is modifying its expansion to avoid bulldozing this special habitat!
