Furry and hardworking, the many species of bumble bees help to deliver bountiful harvests to farmers markets and grocery shelves. Their labor also provides seeds and fruits for songbirds and many mammals, while helping to keep healthy plant populations in our meadows and backyards. In short, they are essential to wildlands, gardens, and farms.<br><br>Alarmingly, many recent reports suggest that we may be losing their familiar buzz from our summer landscapes. Habitat loss, insecticide use, disease, and climate change all pose threats to North American bumble bees. More information is needed to determine their conservation status, and that process demands a continent-wide collaborative effort. <br><br>We have an amazing community of citizen scientists who have helped us follow a handful of bumble bee species. This new website will generate greater awareness and make it easier for more people to join this community and to track all bumble bee species. The more people that we have directly helping to study these fascinating insects, the more likely we are to implement the changes necessary to protect them.
