Johnson County targeted in rusty patched bumblebee habitat plan
The U S Fish and Wildlife Service proposes designating over 1.6 million acres as critical habitat for the endangered rusty patched bumblebee, with more than 45 000 acres in Johnson County. Criteria include at least 50 expert sightings since 2007, reflecting bee persistence, and urban private lands feature prominently in the plan. A nest discovery near an Iowa City house marks a key local event in the effort.
