Hello everyone,<br><br>
The link below is to the actual statements given by the witnesses at the
subcommittee hearing. May Berenbaum's statement, in particular,
stands out in that it both addresses CCD, as well as the need to include
native bees (both managed and wild) in our crop-pollinator portfolio.
<br><br>
You can read the entire statements at:
