Just last year the rusty patched bumble bee was listed as the first endangered bee species in the continental United States. On May 31 2019, the state of Minnesota responded by passing the Lawns to Legumes bill and making the rusty patched bumble bee Minnesota’s new state bee. The Lawns to Legumes bill provides $900,000 for the conservation of the species, including $350 for residents to convert traditional turfgrass lawns into pollinator friendly habitat.
