Rusty Patched Bumble
Like most bumble bees, these bees are yellow and black, but males and workers have a distinctive rusty-coloured patch on the second segment of the abdomen. This bumble bee lives on the pollen and nectar of a wide variety of flowering plants and can be found in open habitat such as mixed farmland, urban settings, savannah, open woods and sand dunes with most recent sightings in Oak savannas. The Rusty-patched bumble bee was once widespread and common in eastern North America but has suffered rapid, severe decline throughout its entire range since the 1970s with only a handful of specimens collected in recent years. Suspected causes include pesticide use and the spread of disease from honey bees used to pollinate greenhouse vegetable crops.
