Bombus impatiens, the common eastern bumble bee, is the most commonly encountered bumblebee across much of eastern North America.[3] They can be found in the Eastern temperate forest region of the eastern United States, southern Canada, and the eastern Great Plains.[4] Because of their great adaptability, they can live in country, suburbs, and even urban cities.[5][self-published source?] This adaptability makes them a great pollinator species, leading to an increase in their commercial use by the greenhouse industry. This increase consequently led to their farther spread outside their previous distribution range.[6] They are considered one of the most important species of pollinator bees in North America.[7]
