Short Haired Bumblebee Return To UK

Even I have noticed the dwindling numbers of bumblebees in recent years. Most bees that you see are honey bees from managed hives. Einstein made a famous statement about the civilised world being destroyed within ten years should the bee dissappear, due to its important role in pollination.
Now a bee that had been originally introduced to New Zealand from the UK is being reintroduced after a twenty year absence according to the BBC. The scheme forms part of a plan to preserve natural habitat to stimulate existing bee populations, which should also benefit flowers and wild animals.
