Pollinator health & management practices


“Pollinators are crucial members of various ecosystems, from farmland to wilderness to urban environments. There are an estimated several hundred thousand flowering plant species, many of which depend on pollinators to reproduce(National Research Council 2007).” as stated in the National Strategy to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and other Pollinator report below.

The Pollinator Health Task Force is pleased to transmit the National Strategy to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and Other Pollinators (Strategy). This Strategy outlines a comprehensive approach to tackling and reducing the impact of multiple stressors on pollinator health. Building on the current state of the science, and with a renewed emphasis on expanding our understanding of the complex interactions among the various factors impacting pollinator health.
