Notes. Bombus terricola has undergone large contractions in its US distribution ( Cameron et al. 2011) but with evidence of a recent partial recovery in some areas. Historically, the primarily northern species has been recorded throughout Michigan, but only rarely in the SLP ( Husband et al. 1980). Recent collections examined are few and restricted to the NLP in Antrim, Leelanau, and Oceana Counties and Keweenaw County in the UP.
