Bees Endangered Species List: Trump Admin Delays Adding Bumblebee

Due to a memorandum issued at the start of President Donald Trump’s term in office, the first-ever listing of a bee species in the continental U.S. as endangered has been delayed.

The listing of the rusty patched bumblebee as an endangered species was intended to take place on Friday, Feb. 10, according to an announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in January regarding the decision.
