><p>Conservation breeding and release programs are an established way to restore populations of at-risk species, but such programs for invertebrates are very rare compared to those for vertebrates. One common challenge for conservation programs for insects is the development of reliable breeding and rearing techniques. Since WPC\u2019s Native Pollinator Initiative\u2019s inception, we have developed and tested different husbandry techniques for increasing the success of bumble bee conservation breeding colonies, focusing on the Special Concern yellow-banded bumble bee, <em>Bourdon terricola<\/em>. <strong>The ultimate goal of the Bumble Bee Recovery Program is to establish a self-sustaining pool of captive colonies to supplement wild populations of this species.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although the yellow-banded bumble bee has been our main focus in the breeding program, we had a two-year break from breeding in 2020 and 2021, in part because of the pandemic, but also so we could set up a new lab space at African Lion Safari, in Southern Ontario. After this hiatus, we were very excited to resume breeding this species last year.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the yellow-banded, we also reared brown-belted bumble bees, <em>Bombus griseocollis<\/em>, which is a common species that we use to increase sample sizes and compare needs of common versus declining species. We had been breeding brown-belted bumble bees for two years prior (2019 and 2021) and had a high success rate in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The 2022 yellow-banded breeding season saw multiple exciting accomplishments, including the lowest number of early-season queen losses. Some level of mortality is to be expected with any conservation breeding program, so we were happy to see our methods minimizing that as much as possible this year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-36qjvhb-d24bf1066b3424c628f43457f43ca619 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  species-inner-content-intro-wrapper avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-41343'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2k1807z-2672987bcf215fed47ff6fb8c827f54b av_one_full  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_image  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div'     ><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ljh853es-a1e83f40c5b0ded48d3d9a9f20a9d489\">\n.avia-image-container.av-ljh853es-a1e83f40c5b0ded48d3d9a9f20a9d489 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ljh853es-a1e83f40c5b0ded48d3d9a9f20a9d489 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-ljh853es-a1e83f40c5b0ded48d3d9a9f20a9d489 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-9  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-41359 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-41359 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AA-colony.jpg' alt='' title='AA-colony'  height=\"1051\" width=\"1200\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ljh85xqz-50f7330be359c136c7d87c94e883f533'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The largest yellow-banded colony to date (photo taken before the peak of 78 workers) Photo: P.

However, only a few colonies (17%) produced workers and one colony produced males and new queens (gynes). Although these proportions may not seem high in terms of colonies producing offspring, it was a big win for our team as it marked the <strong>first time since 2018 that workers were produced and the first time males and gynes were produced since 2017.<\/strong> Last season we also had our biggest colony to date, with 78 workers.<\/p>\n<p>We also had a record-breaking year breeding brown-belted bumble bees, with about four times the number of new queens (gynes) and two times the number of males produced compared to 2021.

Small changes like this each year will help us perfect the ideal breeding conditions for bumbles.<\/p>\n<p>We have made great improvements for breeding both species in 2022, and have come a long way from where we started in 2017.
