Stallman Says Collaborative Efforts Needed to Stop Honey Bee Decline

Thu, 02 May 2013 15:32:54 CDT

Bob Stallman, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation issued the following statement regarding the USDA/EPA report on the causes of honey bee declines:


"The Agriculture Department/Environmental Protection Agency report issued today concludes what farmers and scientists have known for some time that there isn't just one cause to the decline in honey bee numbers. It's a multitude of factors, which makes it even more important that we continue work on a solution through collaborative efforts among farmers, beekeepers, researchers, the federal government and the public.


"The good health of the honey bee is extremely important to American agriculture. Many farmers and ranchers require honey bees and other pollinators to produce a healthy, bountiful crop. Farm Bureau supports funding for research to find real answers to the Colony Collapse Disorder, as well as practical, effective methods to remedy the situation."
