Krystle Hickman is on a quest to document hundreds of species of native bees, which are under threat by climate change and habitat loss, some of it caused by the more recognizable and agriculturally valued honey bee — an invasive species.
A photographer’s quest to document native bees includes an annual search along the California-Oregon border
Since 2021, she’s traveled annually to the Oregon-California border to look for a critically endangered bee last seen in 2006 – Bombus franklini, or Franklin’s bumblebee.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

The Democratic leaders’ supposed demands for reform were already previously condemned as weak and ineffective.
