This project, supported by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust aims to restore the Short Haired Bumblebee to residency in the UK. The short-haired bumblebee, which vanished from the UK in 1988, is being reintroduced to the Kent countryside. Previous attempts to re-establish the Short Haired Bumblebee have failed but this one looks good so far. If it can be permanently re-established then it will be a major conservation coup.
