Support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposal to list Franklin's bumble bee as endangered.

I strongly support the proposal to place Franklin's bumble bee on the Endangered Species List.

Last seen in 2006, Franklin's bumble bee is considered imminently imperiled. Populations have been declining precipitously since 1998, and habitat loss, pesticides and pollution continually threaten its existence. Listing Franklin's bumble bee on the Endangered Species List is an important step toward raising awareness of the bee's critical status and ensuring protection.
