Over the past few decades, patterns of pollinator decline have raised concern. These declines have included bumble bees (Bombus). However, these declines are not equal by species or by geographic location. Looking at museum records and new collections of Bombus across the Pacific Northwest, we identify areas of higher phylogenetic diversity and phylogenetic endemism to determine areas of greatest concern for conservation.
