Bumble Bees at Risk

I'm always delighted to see bumblebees in my garden, but, like many native pollinators, their future is cloudy. The  Xerxes Society has a great fact sheet on the status of bumblebees at http://www.xerces.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/bumble-bee-conservation-factsheet.pdf. Of course, the first thing on their list of things you can do to help is to plant a diversity of native plants for foraging bumblebees.
