The American Bumblebee Has Vanished from Eight States
> Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Idaho, North Dakota, Wyoming, and OregonAre the eight states from the title. Though it seems New York should be included since it says "The bumblebee species have declined by 99 percent in New York."Also noteworthy> In the Midwest and Southeast, population numbers have dropped by more than 50 percent.To nobodies surprise, the culprit is pesticides. Interestingly the west's bumblee population isn't listed as being in trouble.
