Ultra Rare "Blue Bee" Found in Florida, After Researchers Thought It Might Be Extinct

Surviving in a disappearing ecosystem: While finding a blue calamintha has reassured scientists that the bee is still present despite the impact humans have had on their environment, there is still little known about the species' behavior, biology, and habitat needs. Kimmel and his adviser, Jaret Daniels, are currently working on a two-year research project to determine the blue calamintha bee's current population and the species' nesting and feeding habits.
