The Rusty Patched Bumble Bee (Bombus affinis) was listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act in 2017. Unfortunately, its population continues to decline due to pesticide use, habitat loss and degradation, and global climate change. Bumble bees, as essential pollinators, are crucial for food security and healthy ecosystems.
