Tell the FWS: Protect the rusty patched bumblebee

Dear Director Martha Williams,

While they may be small in size, clocking in at just half an inch, rusty patched bumblebees' contributions to our planet are immeasurable. But things have taken a turn for the worse for these bees.

The rusty patched bumblebee's population has plummeted by nearly 90% since the 1990s, and in 2017, it became the first bee in the continental U.S. to be listed as endangered.

By establishing critical habitat for these bees, we can help protect them from bee-killing pesticides that are contributing to a dramatic decline in population numbers. Help protect our bees today by giving them the safeguarded habitat they need.

Sincerely,
