The conservation status of the genus Halictus as a whole is impossible to determine since species have different conservation statuses. However, some species of Halictus are listed as endangered in certain regions, mainly due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. For example, the European Halictus eurygnathus, the downland furrow bee, and Halictus maculatus, the squared-headed furrow bee, are listed as endangered by NBN Atlas, the United Kingdom’s repository of biodiversity information.
