Today, however, it occupies less than 2% of records, thus making it a candidate for protection under the ESA. Nesting and foraging habitat loss caused by increased urbanization and intensified agricultural landscapes, the spread of pathogens from bumblebees used as commercial pollinators, and recent widespread use of a pesticide group highly toxic to bees (neonicotinoids), are blamed for much of this drastic population decline (Colla and Packer 2008, COSEWIC 2010, Evans et al.
