Buzzing back: Bee extinct in the UK since the 1980s has nested and produced its first offspring | Mail Online: "A bumblebee species reintroduced after being driven to extinction in the UK has nested and produced its first offspring. The short-haired bumblebee vanished in the 1980s, having declined over 60 years as its wildflower-rich grassland habitat was lost. It was officially declared extinct in 2000. Seven of the UK’s 27 bumblebee species are in decline and two have become extinct."
