HONOLULU (AP) — Federal authorities added seven yellow-faced bee species, Hawaii's only native bees, for protection under the Endangered Species Act Friday, a first for any bees in the United States. The group says their goal is to protect nature's pollinators and invertebrates, which play a vital role in the health of the overall ecosystem. Listing these species as endangered will certainly help draw attention to the threats that have brought them close to extinction and it also allows us to begin the process of bringing about recovery.
