A bee lands on a native California plant in a garden used to observe endangered and non-endangered plants outside the station environmental office aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., Jan. 29. The area has experienced a decline in bees due to sickness spreading in the bee population. Endangered plants rely on bees to carry their pollen from plant to plant in order to reproduce.
