Data-driven recovery of at-risk bumblebee species: pinpointing optimal release and recovery sites across Ontario

This project will help protect at-risk bumble bee species in Ontario by identifying the best places to release captive-reared queens back into the wild. Bumble bees are essential pollinators, but many species are declining due to habitat loss and environmental change. While Wildlife Preservation Canada (WPC) has successfully reared several native species, choosing safe and […]
