Colony Collapse Disorder Research Action Plan Announced

U.S. Department of Agriculture Under Secretary for Research, Education and Economics Gale Buchanan recently announced that USDA researchers have finalized an action plan for dealing with colony collapse disorder (CCD) of honey bees.

“There were enough honey bees to provide pollination for U.S. agriculture this year, but beekeepers could face a serious problem next year and beyond,” Buchanan said. “This action plan provides a coordinated framework to ensure that all of the research that needs to be done is covered in order to get to the bottom of the CCD problem.”
