Data including specimens identified previously as Bombus lapponicus; In Canada known from YT, NT, NU, BC, AB, SK, MB, ON, QC and NL. Considering the species is widespread over most of Canada including Boreal/Arctic regions, there aren't many databased records. In the US, the species ranges from the Pacific coastline west to the Colorado Rocky Mountains, associated primarily with high elevations in the Intermountain West; dark form (Bombus flavifrons dimidiatus) found in western portions of the range; red form (Bombus flavifrons flavifrons) in eastern portions of the range. For the purposes of the conservation status assessment all subspecies are considered together. Widespread in most ecozones, although more common in western and northern ecozones. Primitively eusocial bee. Generalist forager of plants including Epilobium, Vicia, Trifolium, Penstemon, Geranium, Lathyrus. Ground nester. Cumulative threats, mainly within areas of human habituation, include habitat loss and/or conversion to agriculture/urban development, invasive non-native species, climate change, livestock grazing, recreational use, etc. (as outlined in short and long-term trends) and have all likely contributed to declines in bee abundance. The specific impact to each bee species is unknown due to lack of specimen data, surveys, natural history information of a species and analysis of these impacts on these variables. These threats may not applicable to portions of ecozones with large natural areas. Species specific threats are unstudied for most bees. (HSS010)
