repr\u00e9sente une v\u00e9ritable catastrophe \u00e9cologique. Quatre-vingt-dix pour cent de toutes les plantes \u00e0 fleurs \u2014 y compris la plupart des fruits et l\u00e9gumes dans votre r\u00e9frig\u00e9rateur \u2014 ont besoin de ces pollinisateurs pour se reproduire.<\/p>\n<p>Jusqu'\u00e0 ce que les causes de ces d\u00e9clins puissent \u00eatre invers\u00e9es, l'\u00e9levage de conservation et la r\u00e9introduction sont la seule fa\u00e7on de prot\u00e9ger les bourdons en p\u00e9ril. Aujourd'hui, CFC est la seule organisation au Canada \u00e0 reconstruire les populations d'abeilles sauvages gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l'\u00e9levage de conservation.

Photo: Parker Smale<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You\u2019ve seen the headlines \u201cbees are declining!\u201d and have seen the calls to \u201csave the bees\u201d. The bees that really need saving are our native bees, the bees that have co-evolved with our native plants over time and are integral in maintaining our local ecosystems. These are the bees that WPC is working to save, by breeding them in a specially designed lab.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the fall of 2023, our bumbles went down for their winter nap. Our team placed them in tubes filled with sterilized soil, and in specific temperature and humidity conditions, then bedded the queens down to spend their winter in a 5-star hotel, aka the fridge in the bee lab. This environment mimics what they experience in the wild, as bumble queens (gynes) typically overwinter in the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Many species of bumble have different emergence periods but our species of interest, the yellow-banded bumble bee, typically emerges in April\/May in the wild &#8211; so we set about gently waking our bees at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>To take them out of their overwintering sleep, we transfer the queens to their nest boxes, along with a pollen ball covered in wax and a tube full of nectar &#8211; which you can see here in the video. The pollen ball covered with wax is to help encourage the queen to lay her eggs, and start building her colony&#8230; even if that means laying her eggs directly on the waxed pollen ball!<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to see our how our queens fare in starting the next generation of bumbles, and donate today to ensure our bumble team can keep up this amazing, one of a kind work!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_3'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'
