Referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
This Senate resolution designates June 22 through June 28, 2026, as "National Pollinator Week" to recognize the critical importance of pollinators like bees, butterflies, birds, and bats to American agriculture and ecosystems. The resolution highlights that pollinators are essential for reproducing at least 80 percent of flowering plants and contribute over $18 billion annually to U.S. crop production through pollination services for more than 100 crops. The bill notes that many native pollinator species are in serious decline, including the Western monarch butterfly, which has dropped 99 percent from 10 million in the 1980s to fewer than 2,000 today, with over 70 native pollinator species now listed as threatened or endangered. The resolution calls on Americans to observe the week with educational and conservation activities and expresses the Senate's commitment to protecting native pollinator species and their habitats. This is a symbolic measure with no direct funding requirements or enforcement mechanisms.
