In North America, this species has not experienced serious declines in relative abundance, persistence, or range in recent years (Hatfield et al. 2014). The average decline value of 23.83%, along with published reports of bumble bee decline and the assessors` best professional judgement, suggest a Least Concern Red List category in this region. In Europe, this species is also recommended for the Least Concern Red List category, in light of its wide distribution, presumed large overall population with a stable population trend, and no major threats. In Asia, the distribution and population status of this species are poorly known, and the importance of Asian populations to the overall species security is unclear.

Although this species is Least Concern in both Europe and North America, lack of information from the Asian part of its range leads to our recommendation of a Data Deficient assessment for this species at this time.
