| Subject: | “Pollinator Week” in Pennsylvania |
| In the near future, I will be introducing a resolution designating the week of June 15 to June 21, 2015, as “Pollinator Week” in Pennsylvania to recognize the important work of pollination and beekeepers in the production of many of the foods produced in the Commonwealth. Pollination plays a vital role in the health of our national forests and grasslands, which provide forage, fish, and wildlife, timber, water, mineral resources, and recreational opportunities as well as enhanced economic development opportunities for communities. Bees, and therefore, beekeepers have an instrumental role in the pollination process. The Pennsylvania Beekeepers Association cooperatively works with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, the Pennsylvania State University Cooperative Extension, and the Delaware Valley College on processes to promote pollination and beekeeping. This resolution would honor those groups for that work and recognize their efforts to provide for an annual “Pollinator Week” in Pennsylvania. I hope you will join me in sponsoring this resolution.
