Bumblebee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) conservation requires knowledge of nesting densities, but this aspect of their life history is poorly understood. The MN-WI Field Office (MN-WI FO) of USFWS secured funding to contract with the The Koch Biodiversity Conservation Laboratory to perform genotyping of bumble bees using DNA samples to reconstruct full-sibling relationships and estimate nest abundance with genetic capture-recapture models. The genetic data will also contribute data towards population health monitoring; genetic health of populations is a metric used to track progress towards long-term RPBB recovery goals. This specific project will support the fieldwork to locate and capture bumble bees, then collect non-lethal tarsal clip samples throughout the field season in 2027. Sampling will occur across the varying habitats used by the species in Appalachians, and will include samples from the American bumble bee (AMBB, B. pensylvanicus) to support a landscape-scale genetics study to estimate the nesting density of these two ecologically dissimilar species. Non-lethal DNA samples wi...
