Bess are living in Hawaii everywhere, from coastal environments to high-elevation shrub lands. They are natural pollinators for the rare plants. Hawaii-based entomologist Karl Magnacca worked with Xerces during 10 years. He said: “It’s good to see it to finally come to fruition. People tend to focus on the rare plants, and those are important, that’s a big part of the diversity.”
It worth to note that plants are not only food and nesting habitat for the bees, but they also provide habitat for other animals. The circle of life in action!
