Bumble bees are ecologically and economically important pollinators but have experienced rapid declines in recent decades. Yet, we know little about the lives of most wild bumble bee species. Where do they live? When are they active? What do they eat? What does all this mean for the future of bumble bees? To answer these questions, we have been monitoring bumble bee populations in the Colorado Rocky Mountains since 2015. By better understanding the basic ecology of bumble bees, the better we are able to protect them from extinction.
