SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Pollinator Surveys. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–NEW. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to conduct a new information 

collection for a period of three years. 

Abstract: The primary objective of the 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

(NASS) is to prepare and issue state and 

national estimates of crop and livestock 

production, prices, and disposition; as 

well as economic statistics, 

environmental statistics related to 

agriculture and also to conduct the 

Census of Agriculture. 

Pollinators (honeybees) are vital to the 

agricultural industry for producing food 

for the world’s population. Ad hoc 

surveys showed a dramatic rise in the 

number of disappearances of honeybee 

colonies in North America in late 2006; 

disappearances ranged from 10–15 

percent annual colony loss in some 

areas to greater than 30 percent in other 

areas. Often called Colony Collapse 

Disorder (CCD), the condition occurs 

when worker bees from a beehive or a 

European honeybee colony abruptly 

disappear, with minimal mortality 

evident near the hive and an intact 

queen and food supply readily 

available. European beekeepers 

observed similar phenomena in 

Belgium, France, the Netherlands, 

Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, and 

initial reports have also come in from 

Switzerland and Germany, albeit to a 

lesser degree, while the Northern 

Ireland Assembly received reports of a 

decline greater than 50 percent. The 

mechanisms of CCD and the reasons for 

its apparent increasing prevalence 

remain unclear. The likely combination 

of factors includes: Infections with 

Varroa mites and other pathogens and 

viruses; pesticides, such as the 

neonicotinoid class; inadequate 

nutrition and loss of natural forage 

habitat; genetic factors; and changing 

beekeeping practices and stress on 

colonies from transportation. 

The collapse of honeybee colonies is 

significant economically because many 

agricultural crops worldwide are 

pollinated by European honeybees. 

According to the Agriculture and 

Consumer Protection Department of the 

United Nations Food and Agriculture 

Organization, the worth of global crops 

with honeybee pollination was 

estimated to be close to $200 billion in 

2005. Shortages of honeybees in the 

United States have led to substantial
