[Pollinator] PA invests in pollinator research

[Kimberly Winter]

Agricultural research projects involving pollinators are getting funded in 
Pennsylvania:

Improving Pollinator Health through Managing Viruses and Varroa Mites 
($49,964) - Penn State studies will show if the control of varroa mites will 
protect honeybee colonies from viruses. Studies will also determine how 
viruses are spread and their impact on colony health.

Pollinators in Peril: Viral Infections of Honeybees ($10,000) - Bucknell 
University will conduct studies on viruses affecting honeybee health, 
specifically deformed wing virus.
