Evidence limits
This records an outreach request, not a confirmed sighting. The agency request, species-status language, and prior observation are preserved as attributed claims from the Association’s relay and are not independently expanded here.
Sources
- The Association relayed what it described as a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service request to look for the endangered rusty-patched bumble bee and submit photographs through Bumble Bee Watch. The post also lists protected species and an existing tricolored-bumble-bee observation, but those statements are relayed community/agency context; this record does not claim a rusty-patched sighting or expand the island species list.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 11 · t011579
