Dear Friends and Colleagues Published today (Mon Nov 2nd, 2015) on *Independent Science News*: *Why Andrew Cuomo's Pollinator Task Force Won't Save New York's Bees* by Tracy Frisch http://www.independentsciencenews.org/environment/why-andrew-cuomos-pollinator-task-force-wont-save-new-yorks-bees/ *Synopsis*: Beekeepers across North America, including in New York state, have been experiencing unsustainable losses of honeybee colonies from Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). These problems of managed bees are probably connected to a general decline in pollinator species being experienced all over the globe. In the US the Federal Government has passed much of the responsibility for solutions to individual states. It has asked them to create their own "Pollinator Protection Plans". This buck-passing is not producing promising results however, as this example from New York state shows.
