• Favorable Weather Conditions: Ideal climate and weather patterns during the spring and summer breeding and migration periods boosted survival and reproduction rates.

• Individual and Community Conservation: Widespread citizen-science and backyard efforts—such as planting native milkweed and nectar flowers across the U.S. and Canada—helped restore vital caterpillar host plants and feeding grounds.

Cuckoo bees lay their eggs in the nests of other bee species and let the host raise their young.

Like their bird namesake, cuckoo bees are kleptoparasites. The female sneaks into a host nest, lays her egg, and leaves. Her larva often hatches first and destroys the host's egg before consuming the stored food.

Nature invented identity theft. Cuckoo bees were first. 🥚🐝
