A new bee species is discovered in Israel The newly discovered Lasioglossum dorchini bees - female on left, male on right. (ISRAEL21c via JNS) - A new species of bee unique to the sand dunes of Israel s coastal plains has been identified and described by Alain Pauly, a taxonomist from the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels. The species was named Lasioglossum dorchini in tribute to the Israeli bee researcher Achik Dorchin of the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History at Tel Aviv University. This new type of bee is especially exciting because a decline in the world bee population is putting crop pollination in danger.
