“We’re ecstatic to see these elusive bumble bees in the forest preserves,” Pati Vitt, director of natural resources for the preserves, said in a statement. “Increased monitoring and awareness, including a new program that trained volunteers in the field, are factors in spotting additional bees." The cause of the bee's decline is unknown, but evidence suggests the interaction between an introduced pathogen and exposure to pesticides, specifically insecticides and fungicides, may be to blame, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Remaining populations are under additional stresses from habitat loss, non-native and managed bees, and the effects of climate change.
