Designating a State Bee!
California is home to more native bee species than 1,600 bee species, but it doesn’t yet have an official State Bee. The California Native Bee Society is launching a statewide effort to select a species that represents our remarkable native pollinators. Stay posted to help us choose California’s State Bee. We will be sharing details on the native bee candidates and asking for you to vote in coming months.
