Abstract

The current status and distributional uncertainties of some Bombus (bumble bee) species across North America has driven the need for monitoring. The central Appalachian Mountain region has historic and recent records of the endangered Bombus affinis (Rusty Patched Bumble Bee), but the species' distribution within the region is unknown. To address the lack of knowledge on distribution of bumble bee species within the region, specifically Rusty Patched Bumble Bee, I randomly generated a network of 70 roadside transects and conducted 764 ten-minute non-lethal surveys. These surveys recorded 11 out of 14 species, including Rusty Patched Bumble Bee, thereby validating that 10-minute surveys using nonlethal techniques at randomly generated roadside locations can document the bumble bee community of the region.
