Over the past decade, the global honey bee population has plummeted. The US population has declined by about 30% each yr since 2006.
We ask the Admin support 100% the findings of the USDA & EPA re: their scientific report on honeybee health. The report says there are many factors affecting honeybee colony declines, including parasites & disease, genetics, poor nutrition, & pesticide exposure. http://bit.ly/13YaRdc
We hope the Admin: makes a temporary & immediate Federal R&D biotech tax credit for biotechs fighting parasitic Varroa mites; to bring to bear the assets of the USDA & EPA; to grant money by Exec Order to support The American Honey Prods Assoc.'s priorities: http://bit.ly/11V9jmH, and to FINE biotech for harming Nature's Workforce w/ Neonicotinoid pesticide.
