Today, WPC is the only organization in Canada rebuilding wild bee populations through conservation breeding. Thanks to recent breakthroughs, we\u2019ve figured out how to dramatically increase the number of queens we produce. Once they\u2019re released into the wild, they can establish their own colonies, producing hundreds of pollinators to sustain the ecosystems around them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-0d26c67d8d91c8a850950c746ed41804\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-0d26c67d8d91c8a850950c746ed41804{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-0d26c67d8d91c8a850950c746ed41804 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_textblock'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-7a1af7d8f9790576b1769c0a9f0449ed'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>In WPC&#8217;s Bumble Bee Conservation Lab, we raise bumble bee colonies in captivity with queens we collect during our spring surveys. You can learn all about the conservation breeding lab and the colonies we raised this year in a previous blog <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/blog\/whats-the-buzz-at-wpcs-bumble-bee-conservation-lab\/\">ici<\/a>. We monitor these colonies throughout the summer, and into the fall. Throughout the summer colonies produce workers, but in the fall towards the end of their colony cycle, they begin to produce males and gynes (new queens).<\/p>\n<p>Part of our bumble bee conservation breeding program includes running mating trials in the fall. This year, mating trials were conducted for eight weeks, between August and October. So, how does it work? Each day we set up a mesh tent outdoors and inside are 4-12 pairings of bumble bees set up in individual enclosures. Each pairing consists of two males and a single gyne from different colonies. Bees are often marked with different coloured oil-based paint markers to help us identify what colony they came from and help us keep track of how old they are.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-7714eba142aeda1f8b5272a3c372b279 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-2432474e5a372b78e3dc468ffa1f8714\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-2432474e5a372b78e3dc468ffa1f8714 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-2432474e5a372b78e3dc468ffa1f8714 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-2432474e5a372b78e3dc468ffa1f8714 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-10  el_before_av_hr  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-34362 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-34362 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Photo-2021-10-01-11-03-31-AM-3-1024x768.jpg' alt='' title='Photo 2021-10-01, 11 03 31 AM (3)'  height=\"768\" width=\"1024\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-0d26c67d8d91c8a850950c746ed41804\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-0d26c67d8d91c8a850950c746ed41804{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-0d26c67d8d91c8a850950c746ed41804 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-7a1af7d8f9790576b1769c0a9f0449ed'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>A peek inside the mating tent. Photo: E. Richard<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This year we were trying three different types of enclosures to see which works best, since it\u2019s been found previously that some bumble bee species prefer certain sized areas for mating. Enclosures range in size from smaller boxes, into which we install spring queens, to large flight cages, and each gyne was given a chance to mate in each of the enclosure types. In the enclosures, we provided them with nectar and pollen so that they have everything they need to be comfortable!<\/p>\n<p>Bees were left out for roughly eight hours during the day, and our staff regularly observed them throughout the day, recording any activity that we saw. We didn\u2019t witness any direct mating events this year, but we did have some close calls! We think we potentially saw some post-mating behaviour that would indicate our bees successfully mated, even if we didn\u2019t directly observe it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-7714eba142aeda1f8b5272a3c372b279 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-728bcffc6ab89e59ada14ae94d6ccb0e\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-728bcffc6ab89e59ada14ae94d6ccb0e img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-728bcffc6ab89e59ada14ae94d6ccb0e .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-728bcffc6ab89e59ada14ae94d6ccb0e av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-14  el_before_av_hr  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-34358 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-34358 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/mating-trials-set-up-1024x768.png' alt='' title='mating trials set up'  height=\"768\" width=\"1024\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-0d26c67d8d91c8a850950c746ed41804\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-0d26c67d8d91c8a850950c746ed41804{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-0d26c67d8d91c8a850950c746ed41804 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-7a1af7d8f9790576b1769c0a9f0449ed'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>A look at the three different types of enclosures trialed for mating in 2021. 1) Flight cage, 2) Colony Box (box we move colonies to after they grow too large for the initial box), and 3) Queen Starter Box (the box we initially put queens in after being collected in the field).

In our conservation breeding lab, it is important to simulate this same overwintering process.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, we move our gynes into individual small boxes and put them in a fridge of 8\u00b0C for 12-24 hours before transferring them to an even cooler fridge of 4\u00b0C\u00a0 to simulate a transition into snug overwintering conditions. Inside the fridges we are trying out the use of terra cotta discs (the same material used in orange clay pots) which we hope will help maintain a higher level of humidity.<\/p>\n<p>As of early November, we have 93 queens (17 common eastern and 76 brown-belted) cozied up in our overwintering fridge.
