SEC. 11315. POLLINATOR PROTECTION. 
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This section may be cited as the 
‘‘Pollinator Protection Act of 2007’’. 
(b) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
(1) many of the crops that humans and live-
stock consume rely on pollinators for healthy 
growth; 
(2) pollination by honey and native bees adds 
more than $18,000,000,000 annually to the value of 
United States crops; 
(3) 1⁄3 of the food supply of the United States 
depends on bee pollination, which makes the man-
agement and protection of pollinators an issue of 
paramount importance to the security of the United 
States food supply system; 
(4) colony collapse disorder is the name that 
has been given to the latest die-off of honey bee colo-
nies, exacerbating the continual decline of pollinators 
in North America;

(5) honey bee colonies in more than 23 states 
have been affected by colony collapse disorder; 
(6) if the current rate of decline continues, the 
United States will be forced to rely more heavily on 
imported foods, which will destabilize the food secu-
rity of the United States through adverse affects on 
the availability, price, and quality of the many fruits, 
vegetables, and other products that depend on ani-
mal pollination; and 
(7) enhanced funding for research on honey 
bees, native bees, parasites, pathogens, toxins, and 
other environmental factors affecting bees and polli-
nation of cultivated and wild plants will result in 
methods of response to colony collapse disorder and 
other factors causing the decline of pollinators in 
North America.
