I think you are mixing two things up.
Bumblebees in total are not as numerous as usual because of the record-breakingly cold April. But that doesn't mean there are none, just fewer.
One particular rare bumblebee that had become extinct in Britain has been reintroduced. It is rare, so won't make much difference to total numbers, and was never intended to do so.
