H. Res. 1460

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                          July 1, 2010.
Whereas bees, birds, butterflies, and other pollinators are vital to sustaining 
        a healthy ecosystem;
Whereas pollinators are responsible for an estimated 1 out of every 3 bites of 
        food that we eat;
Whereas diversity of pollinators is necessary for diversity of plant life and 
        the security of our food supply;
Whereas a decline in pollinators would adversely impact animal species that eat 
        pollinating plants;
Whereas colony collapse disorder has caused an alarming decline in the 
        population of honey bees, one of the most important pollinators;
Whereas the United States Senate designated the last week of June as National 
        Pollinator Week in 2006; and
Whereas the majority of States have recognized June 21-27, 2010, as National 
        Pollinator Week: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the importance of pollinators in agriculture and in 
        maintaining our diverse ecosystem; and
            (2) supports the goals and ideals of National Pollinator Week.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
