The two-spotted bumble bee (''Bombus bimaculatus'') is a species of social bumble bee found in the eastern half of the United States and the adjacent south-eastern part of Canada. In older literature this bee is often referred to as ''Bremus bimaculatus'', ''Bremus'' being a synonym for ''Bombus''. The bee's common name comes from the two yellow spots on its abdomen. Unlike many of the other species of bee in the genus ''Bombus,'' ''B. bimaculatus'' is not on the decline, but instead is very stable. They are abundant pollinators that forage at a variety of plants. == Taxonomy and Phylogeny == ''B. bimaculatus'' is in the ''Pyrobombus'' subgenus, which is closely related to the ''Alpinobombus'' and ''Bombus'' subgenuses out of the 15 total. Within the ''Pyrobombus'' subgenus, ''B. bimaculatus'' is most closely related to ''B. monticola, B. sylvicola, and B. lapponicus.'' Additionally, ''B. bimaculatus'' can oftentimes be confused with ''B. impatiens'' and ''B. griseocollis'', as their colorations are very similar.
