Chairman Cardoza holds his second hearing on Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)

June 26, 2008

This hearing was the second House Agriculture Committee hearing in the 110^th Congress to examine the health of pollinators and the threat of colony collapse disorder in honey bee colonies across the United States. Chairman Cardoza called the first ever Congressional hearing devoted to this topic in March 2007 after hearing about the rising cost of bees from farmers in the San Joaquin Valley.
