Enhancing Habitat for the Western Bumblebee in Olympic National Forest_4

The western bumblebee is one of the most widespread bees in North America. In recent years, however, this important pollinator has seen massive population declines— especially in the Pacific Northwest. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is working with our partners at the U.S. Forest Service, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, and Xerces Society to enhance habitat and help conserve this critical species.
