Spring/Summer/Fall
Bumble Bee Nest Site Survey
Statewide/Nationwide
If you know the location of a bumble bee nest, you can help with a study designed to identify nest sites and preferred habitats. Bumble bees are important pollinators of agricultural crops and wild plants, but we know little about their natural history in North America. Anecdotal evidence and preliminary research suggest that bumble bee species are declining throughout the continent but much more research is needed. By filling out a short survey when you find a bumble bee nest, you'll be contributing to important research on bumble bees. Every detail brings us closer to understanding and conserving these important pollinators!.

Please go here for more information and to link to the survey.
