These colorful insects also fill the pages of many children's books and decorate clothing and housewares. Despite their apparent ubiquitousness, bumble bees are disappearing from our farms and countryside, and at least five species in North America have become rare in many parts of their historic ranges. Xerces is working to conserve America's bumble bees

Protecting nests and potential nest sites is essential for conserving bumble bees, yet there is remarkably little specific information about them. Have you seen one?
