If you find a Trachusa in the East, and probably if you find it anywhere, you are a good keeper of the land. Â These species and T. ridingsii in particular have just disappeared from much of our landscape. Â Unlike many other bees they don't integrate well with urban, suburban, agricultural interfaces as currently wrought. Â That said, we no so little about this species that it may be simply a matter of providing the right set of native plants and we could these lovely beasts around. Â This is something for you to do dear reader...you can't expect the government to solve all your problems.
