Recognizing the importance of pollinators to ecosystem health and agriculture in the United States by designating June 15 through June 22, 2025, as "National Pollinator Week".
This resolution designates June 15 through June 22, 2025 , as "National Pollinator Week" to recognize the critical role of pollinators in the United States. It emphasizes that pollinators, including native bees and butterflies, are vital for sustaining agriculture, contributing over $18 billion in revenue to U.S. crop production annually, and maintaining ecosystem health and biodiversity. The resolution highlights that these species are indispensable for the reproduction of 80 percent of flowering plants, yet many populations are in severe decline, with nearly 70 native species listed as threatened or endangered. By designating this week, the House of Representatives expresses support for conservation efforts, encourages public observation with educational activities, and intends to improve understanding and protection of native pollinator species and their habitats.
