H. J. RES. 58
Designating the honeybee as the national insect.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 5, 1993
Mr. NEAL of North Carolina introduced the following joint resolution; which
was referred to the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service
JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating the honeybee as the national insect.
Whereas the honeybee has been recognized since biblical
times as an embodiment of the virtues of industry, inge-
nuity, thrift, and selflessness, qualities that reflect some
of the most basic and honored ideals of the Nation;
Whereas the honeybee is an unsung yet essential link in the
chain of American agriculture, pollinating an estimated
19 billion dollars’ worth of crops annually;
Whereas the honeybee population is declining under pressure
from urbanization and the misuse of pesticides, resulting
in a loss of honey and beeswax and in reduced yields of
fruits, vegetables, flowers, and shrubs because of inad-
equate pollination;
•HJ 58 IH
Whereas concern for the honeybee has created public aware-
ness of the urgent need to preserve and protect these val-
uable creatures;
Whereas at the present time honeybees are kept in all 50 of
the United States;
Whereas many communities across the Nation hold annual
festivals of art, crafts, and music in honor of the honey-
bee;
Whereas the Postal Service honored the honeybee by issuing
a 25-cent stamp on September 2, 1988, in Omaha, Ne-
braska, and an embossed envelope on October 10, 1980,
in Paris, Illinois;
Whereas 18 States have already adopted the honeybee as
their official State insect, and Utah is nicknamed the
‘‘Beehive State’’ in honor of the honeybee; and
Whereas it would be in the best interests of the people of the
United States for the honeybee to be adopted as our na-
tional insect: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the insect commonly known as the honeybee is des-
ignated and adopted as the national insect of the United
States, and the President is authorized and requested to
declare such fact by proclamation.
