A giant sequoia tree that was barely holding onto life fell down recently during a winter storm. The iconic “Pioneer Cabin” tree was 150 feet tall and was a popular tourist attraction to visitors of Calaveras Big Trees State Park in California because of the tunnel that earlier landowners had carved in its base. At one point, visitors could even drive cars through the tunnel. Unfortunately, the tunnel weakened the tree and may have led it to eventually topple over in the storm.

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.’ Produced by Day’s Edge Productions and Clay Bolt in partnership with Xerces Society and Endangered Species Chocolate.

On January 10, 2017, the rusty-patched bumble bee became the first bumble bee to be declared endangered in the U.S. Read more about it here: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/01/bumblebees-endangered-species-rusty-patched/
