Requires the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to report on the extent and scope of the threat to the health of managed pollinator bees from: (1) pathological factors, including the species of parasitic mite known as Varroa mite (Varroa destructor), other arthropod pests, and fungal, microbial, and viral diseases; and (2) environmental factors, including the habitat, forage, beekeeper practices and husbandry, and nutritional needs of managed pollinator bees.

Requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to report on: (1) the availability of pesticides for management of parasitic pests that adversely impact the health of managed pollinator bees; and (2) EPA efforts to expedite approvals of new products to control parasitic pests of managed pollinator bees, including products to mitigate resistance to available products.
