      It looks like most species of bee are declining at the moment, particularly those that live in the UK, Europe and America. In the UK the most endangered species are the great yellow bumblebee that only lives in very north Scotland, and the shrill carder bee which lives in 7 areas in the south of england. Because these bees have such small areas that they live in, its very likely that they might go extinct in our lifetime.
