Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to turn my questions to Mr. McKinney from the National Association of State Departments for Agriculture.
Sir, in your opening statement, you talked about needing more tools in the tool box and the need to fund additional research to combat problems associated, I guess, with the fact that we're seeing resistance to those current treatments.
In your mind, where do you see some of the most beneficial research occurring in additional treatments? What's the state of development of other chemical products? Is there any promising research showing maybe biological agents that might help? Is there any promising research into breeding that may help bees develop beneficial traits to allow them to be resistant to some of the pests they are having to deal with? Anything you can help guide our committee through on this, please....
