The Bumble Bees of North America: An Identification Guide

Dr. Sheila Colla is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Her research deals with the conservation of at-risk species including native pollinators and wildflowers.  She also works with NGOs and policymakers to advise conservation management across North America.  In 2014, she launched a North American Citizen Science project,  BumbleBeeWatch.org, with various partners. This allows the public to help build a long term database of bumblebees which can be used to look at changes in abundance and distribution over time in light of global change.
