Harrison<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Unlike honey bees, whose colonies survive throughout the winter and whose queens live for multiple years, bumble bees have an annual colony cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Each fall, mated bumble bee queens dig into the earth to hibernate while the remaining colony members (foundress queen, worker bees, male bees) naturally perish. Come spring, bumble bee queens emerge from hibernation to start their colonies from scratch\u2014but not all bumble bees follow the same sleeping schedule! In Ontario, Canada for example, the common eastern bumble bee (<em>Bombus impatiens<\/em>) is one of the earliest species seen, emerging in mid-to-late April, but other species may not emerge until May or June, like the northern amber bumble bee (<em>B. borealis<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001aGFbNeo0yac7rlCvJJOVCMlW3UjiRGQwkVWBN-fRLTOVR41p1tQzTXBszrFsNIGPB5eyx0GqRx7293D90hJE7CVuhSAHIChu8xTPevwqAnOg27uYAkVl9KrJk2LiB7qClGpDtLXhoPYYvODxiuweWP7NleMGs6jJ&amp;c=OIrQh18g9hkMN1zxxc4CvrrvS5I10Y-wCiZs0221xglcK6tYmTvY_w==&amp;ch=k6Rl3U7zuHUq6QlF7s4yuWSMLE80Etm2QMMVQLUT4LY_r4zNyeM97g==\">Surveillance des bourdons<\/a> submissions help experts track the seasonal differences between bumble bee species!

Choosing which common species to use, however, comes with several considerations to ensure the data generated is valid for comparison.<\/p>\n<p>One of these considerations is the seasonal difference between species. Since the yellow-banded bumble bee emerges earlier in the spring, WPC wants to consider common species that follow a similar seasonal pattern. This is where you come in!<\/p>\n<p>Submitting your observations to Bumble Bee Watch provides WPC\u2019s Bumble Bee Conservation Lab with great insight regarding the similarities and differences of bumble bee species. This year, WPC started breeding the tri-coloured bumble bee (<em>B. ternarius<\/em>) because it has been found to have a similar emergence time and temperature range as the yellow-banded bumble bee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Share and explore observations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your Bumble Bee Watch submissions help conservationists make decisions to support at-risk species, so be on the lookout for queens this fall and next spring as the snow thaws.
