State's Plan to Protect Bees and Other Pollinators Met with Skepticism
35 percent of the world’s food supply relies on bees and other pollinators – and Wisconsin saw a 60 percent drop in bee colonies last year alone. Farmers and environmental advocates alike want to keep them in the state, so the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection created the Pollinator Protection Plan to make sure the bees stay. But critics have doubted how effective the plan will be, especially when natural habitats for pollinators and pesticides in Wisconsin make it hard for them to survive.
