As this type of bumblebee has vanished from 87% of its historic range, listing it as endangered could help restore its numbers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Importance of rusty-patched bumblebee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The rusty-patched bumblebee pollinates apples, blueberries and other crops and was once a common inhabitant of the Midwest and Eastern Seaboard. A few decades ago, rusty-patched bumblebee populations were up to 95% larger than they are now. Losing this type of bee, or any type of bee, endangers the food supply.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preventing disappearance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Canada officially protected the rusty-patched bumblebee in an attempt to save it. They may have been too late as the bee has only been spotted at one site in 2005 and in 2009. This type of bee ranked fourth on the most common bumblebees in Canada during the 1970s-1980s and now it&#8217;s nearly disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>Such statistics are why organizations like the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation want the bee put on the endangered species list. It represents a positive step toward protecting other bees including the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/stinging-insects\/index.php#honey-bee\" target=\"_blank\">honeybee<\/a> that pollinates 1\/3 of the world&#8217;s food supply.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">Allison Pest<\/a> is among the top pest control companies in Freehold and dedicated to safe, effective pest removal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bothersome invading insects can have you calling pest control companies in Freehold for help, but there are some insects that require help and not elimination.
