Western bumblebees used to be found in habitats across western Canada, from mountain areas to forests to prairie grasslands. These once common insects are losing their habitats to development and agriculture. They&#8217;re also being exposed to pesticides.

She&#8217;s the only bee to survive the winter (she hibernates through the cold months), and in the spring she has one job: to find the perfect place to lay her eggs and start building a new colony. &nbsp;Popular areas for bee nests are under buildings (like sheds) and in abandoned rodent burrows.&nbsp; The first eggs the queen lays develop into female worker bees. They help by collecting pollen and nectar, and taking care of the larvae and the nest. Later in the season, eggs develop into male bees and new queens. These queens survive the winter, starting the cycle over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mike-Burak-Program-Director-\u2013-South-West-and-others-from-the-NCC-Saskatchewan-team-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-578708\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mike-Burak-Program-Director-\u2013-South-West-and-others-from-the-NCC-Saskatchewan-team-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mike-Burak-Program-Director-\u2013-South-West-and-others-from-the-NCC-Saskatchewan-team-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mike-Burak-Program-Director-\u2013-South-West-and-others-from-the-NCC-Saskatchewan-team-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mike-Burak-Program-Director-\u2013-South-West-and-others-from-the-NCC-Saskatchewan-team-696x464.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mike-Burak-Program-Director-\u2013-South-West-and-others-from-the-NCC-Saskatchewan-team-1392x928.jpeg 1392w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mike-Burak-Program-Director-\u2013-South-West-and-others-from-the-NCC-Saskatchewan-team-1068x712.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mike-Burak-Program-Director-\u2013-South-West-and-others-from-the-NCC-Saskatchewan-team-630x420.jpeg 630w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mike-Burak-Program-Director-\u2013-South-West-and-others-from-the-NCC-Saskatchewan-team-1260x840.jpeg 1260w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mike-Burak-Program-Director-\u2013-South-West-and-others-from-the-NCC-Saskatchewan-team-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bee-ing Helpful<\/strong><br>We&#8217;re working hard to bring the western bumblebee back to southern Saskatchewan by teaming up with Nature Conservancy Canada (NCC).&nbsp; By adopting a western bumblebee, you&#8217;ll help NCC purchase land that has been used for farming and transform it back into bumblebee habitats &#8211; that means planting native flowers, creating nesting spots and protected areas for overwintering.
