Despite its adaptability, however, this species has experienced a significant decline in recent years due to cumulative habitat loss and fragmentation as a result of increasingly intensive agriculture, pesticides, and other land use practices. It was once considered one of the most common and widespread bumblebees in western Canada, and we need your help to bring it back.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"td-block-span6 tdm-col tdm-col-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tdm-image td-fix-index\" src=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/beekey.jpg\"  width=\"800\" height=\"600\" alt=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_wrapper td_block_empty_space td_block_wrap vc_empty_space tdi_14 \"  style=\"height: 32px\"><\/div><div class=\"td_block_wrap td_block_title tdi_15 td-pb-border-top td_block_template_1 td-fix-index\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_15\" >\n<style>\n.td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-pulldown-filter-link:hover,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-subcat-item a:hover,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-subcat-item .td-cur-simple-item {\r\n                color: #6cb33f;\r\n            }\r\n\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .block-title > *,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-subcat-dropdown:hover .td-subcat-more {\r\n                background-color: #6cb33f;\r\n            }\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .td-footer-wrapper .tdi_15 .block-title > * {\r\n                padding: 6px 7px 5px;\r\n                line-height: 1;\r\n            }\r\n\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .block-title {\r\n                border-color: #6cb33f;\r\n            }\r\n\r\n            \r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td_module_wrap:hover .entry-title a,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td_quote_on_blocks,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-opacity-cat .td-post-category:hover,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-opacity-read .td-read-more a:hover,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-opacity-author .td-post-author-name a:hover,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-instagram-user a {\r\n                color: #6cb33f;\r\n            }\r\n\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-next-prev-wrap a:hover,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-load-more-wrap a:hover {\r\n                background-color: #6cb33f;\r\n                border-color: #6cb33f;\r\n            }\r\n\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-read-more a,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-weather-information:before,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-weather-week:before,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-exchange-header:before,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .td-footer-wrapper .tdi_15 .td-post-category,\r\n            .td-theme-wrap .tdi_15 .td-post-category:hover {\r\n                background-color: #6cb33f;\r\n            }\n\/* inline tdc_css att -
