Description

Honey bees and other managed and wild, native bees provide valuable pollination services to agriculture worth billions of dollars to farmers. Declines in some populations have been documented, with an average of about 29% of honey bee colonies dying out each winter since 2006. A June 2014 presidential memorandum on pollinators established the White House Pollinator Health Task Force, comprising more than a dozen federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This report examines (1) selected USDA agenciesäó» bee-related monitoring, research and outreach, as well as conservation efforts; and (2) EPAäó»s efforts to protect bees through its regulation of pesticides. Table and figure. This is a print on demand report.
