U.S., stung by bee decline, sets plan to save pollinators

Quote:

The White House on Friday announced a federal strategy to reverse a rapid decline in the number of honey bees and other pollinators in the United States that threatens the development of billions of dollars in crops... ...In May, an annual report from USDA and the "Bee Informed Partnership," an industry group, estimated that total losses of managed honey bee colonies was 23 percent percent over the winter of 2013-14, just the latest in a series of declines.Link

I'd be very interested in more details of this policy, if anyone has any insider info.
