I have been strongly suggesting to my contacts at EPA, as well as to beekeeping leadership, that we shift our focus with insecticide adverse effects away from honey bees (managed livestock) to "pollinators" in general.



Why and how??   This statement seems odd to me?  We don't even have enough experience and knowledge to follow our managed bees with any agreement.  How in the heck could we manage monitoring several hundred species of natives with any sort of skill or confidence??
