Tried to post this earlier twice, guess it didn't work.  I think I got it figured out now because the policy source (whitehouse dot gov) is blocked from posts for some reason.  Sorry for any duplicates!

News out today with policy makers offering up "National Strategy Plan to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and Other Pollinators".

Can be viewed at: (the whitehouse dot gov site within the story below).

Associated NPR article at: "http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/05/19/407955318/plan-bee-white-house-unveils-strategy-to-protect-pollinators"

Of note, the challenge/goal offered in document: "The White House strategy aims to reduce honeybee colony losses during the winter to no more than 15 percent within 10 years."
