Sanderson’s Bumble Bee
Notes: This under-recorded species is associated with forest edges, fens, swamps, and acidic bogs in the northern part of the state and has been collected from white clover ( Trifolium repens ) and black chokeberry ( Aronia melanocarpa ) in Connecticut. The true status of this species in Connecticut and in New England is unclear, as it has been overlooked in collections and museum databases and under-reported in photo-based community science databases due to its similarity in appearance to B. vagans and B. perplexus (New England populations of B. sandersoni and B. vagans are often identical in color pattern). Records are increasing as better identification criteria are understood (Goldstein & Ascher 2016; Milam et al. 2020).
