Bumblebee Vulnerability
- Unlike many other groups of animals, the greatest number of bumblebee species are found not in the Tropics but in the north Temperate zone
- There are no bumblebees in Subsaharan Africa, Australia, or peninsular India
- Many bumblebee species are found in high mountains or in the north temperate zone extending into the high Arctic e.g. coast of Greenland
- With rising temperatures from Global Warming, many bumblebee species will be endangered or face extinction
