Bill > SB155

This bill designates the brown-belted bumblebee (Bombus griseocollis) as the official state native pollinator, adding it to the list of official emblems and designations of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Previously, the honey bee (Apis mellifera) was listed as the official pollinator, but this bill specifically recognizes a native species to highlight its importance.
