Bombus vancouverensis, the Vancouver Bumblebee, is a common species of eusocial bumblebee of the subgenus Pyrobombus. B. vancouverensis inhabits mountainous regions of western North America, where it has long been considered as a synonym of Bombus bifarius, and essentially all of the literature on bifarius refers instead to vancouverensis. B. vancouverensis has been identified as one of the two species of bumblebee observed to use pheromones in kin recognition. The other is the frigid bumblebee, Bombus frigidus. Bombus vancouverensis has two recognized subspecies:
Bombus vancouverensis vancouverensis Cresson, 1878 (the Vancouver Island Bumblebee) - limited to British Columbia
Bombus vancouverensis nearcticus Handlirsch, 1888 (the Nearctic Bumblebee) - widespread in the United States and Canada Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombus_vancouverensis
