San Diegan creates shelter to save native bees
The "unstung" hero. The solo bee is endangered as is the honey bee, but the solo bee actually is much more prodigious when it comes to pollinating plants.
People do steal cacti, though. Saguaro cacti are particularly prized on the black market, where they can fetch anywhere from $500 to $2,000 a piece. Eight years ago, rangers came across a trailer parked along a road in the park and found eight saguaro cacti inside. The rangers arrested the would-be poachers and even got convictions.
