Researchers used previous patterns of bumblebee range changes and bumblebee queen dispersal rates to model potential changes in their ranges under different future climate scenarios. All results suggest that bumblebee species will significantly decline further across much of North America, with species likely to experience range losses of over 25 per cent by 2070.
