The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement to a CESU-affiliated partner for research on imperiled bumble bees. This grant is designed to study the long-term demography and refine monitoring methods for Bombus affinis, the rusty patched bumble bee. This once-widespread species has experienced precipitous population declines over the past two decades. The research will focus on understanding its population dynamics and developing effective techniques for monitoring within the Great Lakes – Northern Forest region. This funding is crucial for conservation efforts, providing data to help mitigate the rapid decline of this pollinator.
