Hawaii's only native bees placed on Endangered Species list
HONOLULU Federal authorities added seven yellow-faced bee species, Hawaii’s only native bees, for protection under the Endangered Species Act Friday, a first for any bees in the United States.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced the listing after years of study by the conservation group Xerces Society.
The group says their goal is to protect nature’s pollinators and invertebrates, which play a vital role in the health of the overall ecosystem.
