Activists are calling for bumblebees to be added to the Endangered Species list as populations have nearly disappeared from eight states.
The Center for Biological Diversity and Bombus Pollinators Association of Law Students says Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Idaho, North Dakota, Wyoming and Oregon all have close to zero American bumblebees left.
The American bumblebee population has declined by 89-percent across the country over the last two years.
It was once the most common bumblebee species in North America.
The report says climate change, pesticides, disease, habitat loss and competition from honeybees are all pushing them to extinction.
