Colorado Native Pollinator Insect Study

Recognizing the need for coordinated state-level efforts to better understand the status and health of our native pollinating insects, Senate Bill 22-199, the Native Pollinating Insects Protection Study, was passed by the State Legislature and signed into law by Governor Jared Polis in May 2022.

The Colorado Department of Natural Resources subsequently commissioned this study and awarded it to a collaborative team of pollinator researchers, managers, and conservationists.

Just recently the Colorado Department of Natural Resources released a report on the comprehensive assessment of the health of the state’s native pollinating insects.
