Bill > HRes526

This resolution recognizes the critical importance of pollinators—including bees, butterflies, birds, bats, and beetles—to the United States' agricultural and ecological systems. The resolution highlights that pollinators contribute over $18 billion to crop production annually and help reproduce at least 80 percent of flowering plants, while also facing significant challenges such as habitat loss and population decline. Several pollinator species, including North American monarch butterflies and bumble bees, have experienced dramatic population reductions, with some species facing potential extinction. In response, the resolution designates June 15 through June 22, 2025, as "National Pollinator Week" and calls for the House of Representatives to express support for pollinators, acknowledge their ecological significance, encourage public observation and educational activities related to pollinator conservation, and commit to ongoing efforts to conserve native pollinator species and improve public understanding of their critical role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem health.
