in its hive? Is it native to the Western Hemisphere? No! Think of another bee. Do you see a bumble bee? Perhaps a picture or a drawing? Think of another bee. Having problems? Do you know that there are over 600 native bee species in Washington? Join Nature Now this week as host Nan Evans talks with Dr. Karen Wright from the Washington Department of Agriculture to learn more about our native bees and the Washington Bee Atlas.

The only sign of civilation in between is the town of Shandan, and it’s not much of a sign. Shandan’s only claim to fame is a New Zealander who came there to set up an arts school.
