What is the official conservation status of Bombus bohemicus in Canada under SARA?
Answer
Endangered
The Gypsy Cuckoo Bumble Bee (*Bombus bohemicus*) holds the status of Endangered in Canada according to the Species at Risk Act (SARA). This designation reflects the precarious nature of its population, indicating that its distribution is shrinking or highly fragmented, and the specific ecological conditions required for its survival are becoming increasingly rare within Canadian borders. This listing emphasizes the urgency in understanding and protecting the precise environmental needs, particularly the requirements of its host species, for the cuckoo bee's persistence.
