In a study published Nov. 7, 2018, in the journal PeerJ, Utah State University researchers say Utah, aptly nicknamed the 'Beehive State' is home to more bee species than most states in the United States. Nearly half of those species dwell within the original boundaries of the newly reduced Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
