Bumblebees are the most well-known bees out of approximately 800 species in Canada. They are often considered the most important group of pollinators. Without pollinators, there wouldn't be much for us to eat!

Declines in bumblebee populations have been reported all over the world. Like many other species, the main threats to the survival of bumblebees are habitat loss and pesticide use. Large expanses of natural habitat are fragmented or transformed for agriculture and city building.

Native plant species can support more than 30 times the number of insects than non-native species. Yet, native vegetation continues to be replaced with exotic garden plants.

With your gift of $55.00, you will be helping WWF-Canada's efforts to restore habitat for bumblebees in Canada.

*In the eventuality that net funds in excess of the program costs are raised, they will be redirected towards other important conservation programs.
