There are currently 24 species of bumblebee resident in Britain. Yet, sadly, the story of bumblebees over the past century has been one of decline. Two species became extinct in the UK during the 20th century and a further eight species are currently listed on at least one of the English, Welsh and Scottish conservation priority species lists due to their large-scale declines in distribution. Rachel has the ability to bring matters of importance into her art for others to appreciate and take notice.
