Species distribution modeling based on maximum entropy (Maxent) methods (Maxent 3.4.1, Phillips et al. 2006, Phillips and Dudík 2008, Phillips et al. 2017, Hijmans et al. 2021) uses recorded observations of a species, as well as a variety of climatic variables (Booth et al. 2014), elevation, and land cover (Dewitz and U.S. Geological Survey 2021) to construct a model of predicted potential geographic distribution. Results of this SDMs should be interpreted with caution given that the model included presence only data (as opposed to presence and absence data), and the predictor variables used in the models do not represent all factors impacting bumble bee distribution. As such, this SDM should be interpreted as predicted potential geographic distribution (where suitable habitat exists to support a species).&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style='font-family:inherit;'&gt;Bumble bee records used to build the SDMs involved in determining conservation priority were collected between 2011 and 2021. Records are sourced from a database of more than 700,000 records of 43 species of North American bumble bees first assembled in 2014 (Williams et al. 2014) and maintained by Dr. Leif Richardson (Richardson 2022).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style='font-family:inherit;'&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style='font-family:inherit;'&gt;&lt;font style='font-family:inherit;'&gt;&lt;span style='font-family:inherit;'&gt;Booth, T.H., H.A.
