pollinator health from other states.

2. Evaluate the effectiveness of pesticide applicator licensing and other legal

requirements and incentives in improving pollinator health.

3. Identify possible funding streams for efforts to promote or protect pollinator

health.

4. Investigate the methods other states use to gather data on populations of

bees or other pollinating insects.

5. Study the impact of pesticides on declining pollinator populations.
