| johnascher | Subspecies Bombus occidentalis occidentalis |
The form in Alaska etc. is split here at specific rank (in which case no need for subspecies) https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00222933.2021.1900444 |

Merging this related flag here (https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/544564).
I merged B. o. occidentalis with B. occidentalis. It looks like Alaska, Yukon, etc. observations were already previously fixed in some way. The remaining location to fix was three observations in BC, CAN. I added comments there explaining a need to manually update IDs.
