Being There for Bees

CLAY BOLT | COMMUNICATIONS LEAD, WWF NORTHERN GREAT PLAINS PROGRAM

We are all familiar with honey bees, but did you know that North America is also home to approximately 4,000 species of native bees? Clay Bolt is a wildlife photographer who has dedicated the past seven years to photographing and protecting bees. Join him as he shares some of the amazing facts about bees, photos and fun stories about their behavior, and tells you how he helped to protect the first species of North American bee—the rusty-patched bumble bee—under the Endangered Species Act in 2017, and rediscovered the world's largest bee in Indonesian rain forest in 2019.
