Spotted on shelves! So cool to see a story by @claybolt in this month's issue of @outdoorphotomag about the making of our film about the #rustypatched #bumblebee, A Ghost in the Making. This bee was recently listed under the Endangered Species Act, but the current administration has postponed this listing. The fight for protection continues.

TAKE ACTION to save the Rusty-patched Bumble Bee: chn.ge/28QVIZn Everyone has heard about bee declines, but with so much attention focused on domesticated honeybees, someone has to speak up for the 4,000 species of native bees in North America. Natural history photographer Clay Bolt is on a multi-year quest to tell the stories of our native bees, and one elusive species – the Rusty-patched Bumble Bee – has become his ‘white whale.’ Traveling from state to state in search of the Rusty-patched, he meets the scientists and conservationists working tirelessly to preserve it. Clay’s journey finally brings him to Wisconsin, where he comes face to face with his fuzzy quarry and discovers an answer to the question that has been nagging him all along: why save a species?
A film by Day's Edge Productions, produced in partnership with the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and Endangered Species Chocolate. With music by Dan Warren, New West Studios, and Cloud Cult.
