We have plenty of Bombus in my area, and early Bombus vos. queens are
already foraging and beginning to start brood nests for the year. From
what I understand, the predominant Bombus species near me has shifted
from what it used to be. Some studies indicate a decline in some
species of bumblebees but do not include the fact that other bumblebee
species have already filled the niche in many places.
