A Ghost in the Making: Searching for the Rusty Patched Bumble Bee

 


This film was shown on September 20, 2019, and recounted a personal search to find the endangered rusty-patched bumble bee. Lisa Moore, Editor-in-Chief, National Wildlife Magazine, says: "This elegant film delivers wonder in every frame. Blending expert science with the exuberance of a bug-loving kid, Bolt takes us on a journey of discovery."  If you are interested in a re-showing of this film, just contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Did you know human life depends on these small wildlife?  Bumble bees (shown at right) and other pollinators are responsible for one out of every three bites of our daily food. Pollinators are essential for our ecosystems and create sustainable natural resources by helping plants reproduce.  These tiny wildlife travel across our environment carrying pollen on their bodies from one plant to another allowing the transfer of genetic material critical to the reproductive system of most flowering plants.  Without these creatures, then countless fruits, vegetables, and nuts would cease to exist.  More than half of the world’s oils, fibers and raw materials could disappear.  Without vegetative cover of our lands, erosion would increase, and dust storms would grow.  Without this wondrous ecosystem service, the world as we know it would cease to exist, and today these precious wildlife are increasingly in jeopardy.
