They can be easily recognized by the distinct colour pattern on their abdomen and the dark wedge-like pattern on their thorax. In 2021, Wildlife Preservation Canada collected tri-coloured bumble bee queens in Ontario as part of the conservation breeding program to enhance knowledge on bumble bee collection and rearing methods. The knowledge gained from working with this common species will be useful in future work with at-risk species.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfivjitj-f84e0c5ef0d6fe4734612eeed0f02620\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfivjitj-f84e0c5ef0d6fe4734612eeed0f02620 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfivjitj-f84e0c5ef0d6fe4734612eeed0f02620 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfivjitj-f84e0c5ef0d6fe4734612eeed0f02620 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-30  el_after_av_one_full  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-37051 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37051 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ternarius-queen-in-vial_Limberlost_28May2021_THarrison-scaled-1.jpg' alt='' title='ternarius-queen-in-vial_Limberlost_28May2021_THarrison-scaled'  height=\"1375\" width=\"1440\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfivjwkk-f56d7b5ad8abd4a0b3e5e6f4afc7bac2'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Tri-coloured bumble bee queen.

In recent decades, their range has expanded further into eastern Canada and even in some parts of western Canada. Their wide range expansion is mainly due to them being transported for commercial pollination. In addition to this range expansion, populations within their historical range have also increased. Due to their abundance, the common eastern bumble bee was collected in 2021 for Wildlife Preservation Canada\u2019s conservation breeding program, alongside the tri-colored bumble bee and the brown-belted bumble bee (Bombus griseocollis).<\/p>\n<p>Three other species of bumble bee you may see emering early in Eastern Canada are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yellow-banded bumble bee (Bombus terricola)<\/li>\n<li>Two-spotted bumble bee (Bombus bimaculatus)<\/li>\n<li>Yellow bumble bee (Bombus fervidus)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfivm36y-875c851f05f0bb4af607103e2a084089\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfivm36y-875c851f05f0bb4af607103e2a084089 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfivm36y-875c851f05f0bb4af607103e2a084089 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfivm36y-875c851f05f0bb4af607103e2a084089 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-35  el_after_av_one_full  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-37047 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37047 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/impatiens-gyne-on-leaf3_Guelph-Aboretum_3Aug2021_THarrison-scaled-1.jpg' alt='' title='impatiens-gyne-on-leaf3_Guelph-Aboretum_3Aug2021_THarrison-scaled'  height=\"1340\" width=\"1920\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfivmkei-4e3d71d6cf9214bb1c31d6a4f90bfb4a'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Common eastern bumble bee queen.
