well-known honey bee. However, there are many native species of wild bees to keep in mind. Wild bees, including bumble bees, are very critical pollinators within many plant networks. They are fantastic pollinators of crops and wildflowers, providing many of the foods we love, as well as maintaining habitats that support a wide variety of organisms. Unfortunately, bumble bee declines have been observed in southern Ontario, including declines of the widely known species-at-risk, the rusty patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis).<\/p>\n<p>For my master\u2019s research, I teamed up with Wildlife Preservation Canada\u2019s Bumble Bee Recovery Program to help assess bumble bee populations in areas of southern Ontario, by replicating a former study conducted in the 70\u2019s, and more recently in the early 2000\u2019s. We are investigating the changes in abundance, diversity, and floral use of bumble bees in southern Ontario in comparison to previous records The former studies researched areas within Guelph and Belwood, Ontario and revealed declines in both abundance and diversity of certain bumble bee species in the region. Reassessing these areas is important to see if declines have continued and can give insight into what is causing declines, as well as overall trends in these bumble bee populations.<\/p>\n<p>From April \u2013 October 2021 we have been sampling bumble bees once a week. Bumble bees are surveyed using a catch and release method, by walking 1km at each of the sites. Each individual is identified to species and caste (queen, worker, male) and recorded.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-7714eba142aeda1f8b5272a3c372b279 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfwpncad-e74dbae8ab6e1e11be294a5feca76d84\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfwpncad-e74dbae8ab6e1e11be294a5feca76d84 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfwpncad-e74dbae8ab6e1e11be294a5feca76d84 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfwpncad-e74dbae8ab6e1e11be294a5feca76d84 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-37947 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37947 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ferv-for-web-Copy.jpg' alt='' title='ferv-for-web - Copy'  height=\"803\" width=\"1200\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfwpnsq2-da2a7cfe2bb09a3ac6ca7c5cf6bee939'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Yellow bumble bee (Bombus fervidus) queen.

To do this, flower species on which bumble bees are found are recorded, and pollen from the bumble bee\u2019s pollen basket (corbicula) is swabbed to be later identified. The flower density and richness of sites is also being sampled using a 1m2 square every 100m along the 1km walk. Conducting this floral assessment will help us investigate if certain floral densities or the presence of specific species correlates to more bumble bees being found in that area. Since flowers are critical in providing bumble bees with the pollen and nectar they need, it is essential that we understand which flowers they rely on or prefer to ensure they continue to have the proper resources in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfwpp144-4776896c63b7a8f8369c526799de7ba3\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfwpp144-4776896c63b7a8f8369c526799de7ba3 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfwpp144-4776896c63b7a8f8369c526799de7ba3 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfwpp144-4776896c63b7a8f8369c526799de7ba3 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-37943 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37943 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/quadrat-1.jpeg' alt='' title='quadrat'  height=\"512\" width=\"384\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfwppieg-7b98f5f0e8ab531f06def3c459878aad'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Taylor conducting a floral assessment along the transect using one square metre.

We found a total of 12 bumble bee species when combining data from both the Guelph and Belwood sites. When looking at each site respectively, there is slightly higher diversity at the Belwood site with 11 species being found there and 10 being found at the Guelph site. One interesting observation we noted was the sighting of the Vulnerable American bumble bee (Bombus pensylvanicus) which was found only at the Belwood site.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to further exploring the data we have collected and making comparisons to previous studies to better understand these amazing pollinators.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfwpqdmo-c4c8c0afd22e63a0b02b6923805fe62d\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfwpqdmo-c4c8c0afd22e63a0b02b6923805fe62d img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfwpqdmo-c4c8c0afd22e63a0b02b6923805fe62d .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfwpqdmo-c4c8c0afd22e63a0b02b6923805fe62d av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-37945 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37945 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3-for-web-Copy.jpg' alt='' title='3-for-web - Copy'  height=\"803\" width=\"1200\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfwpqts8-09e5acad4ac1a152986bb1fceb9c801f'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>American bumble bee (Bombus pensylvanicus) on autumn olive.
