The Wisconsin Legislature has introduced Senate Joint Resolution 61, which aims to designate June 2025 as Pollinator Awareness Month in the state. This resolution highlights the critical role that pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, play in agriculture and ecosystem health, emphasizing their contribution to the production of a diverse and affordable food supply. Pollinators are responsible for the reproduction of 90% of the world's wild plant species and are essential for the growth of many crops, generating significant economic value in Wisconsin and across the United States.

The resolution also addresses the concerning decline in pollinator populations due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and diseases, urging residents to support pollinators on both public and private lands. It promotes the creation of pollinator-friendly habitats and community initiatives like "No Mow May," which encourages reduced lawn maintenance to provide forage for native pollinators. By designating June 2025 as Pollinator Awareness Month, the Wisconsin Legislature aims to raise awareness about the importance of pollinators and foster community engagement in conservation efforts to ensure their health and sustainability.
