Information:
The American bumblebee is an iconic native pollinator whose range once stretched from coast to coast. But the past 20 years have been a disaster for the species.
Due to threats including habitat loss, pesticide use and disease, sightings of the bee have declined by 89%, and it's disappeared completely from eight states. The decline of this once-common native bee is alarming and heartbreaking — and a harbinger of massive biodiversity loss across the country.
To prevent the extinction of this fuzzy teddy bear of a bee, in 2021 the Center for Biological Diversity petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect it under the Endangered Species Act. When the agency failed to make the right decision, we took it to court in 2024.
You can help. Tell the Service that now is the time to protect American bumblebees — before it's too late.
