COMMITTEE REPORT
DATE: TBD
COMMITTEE INFORMATION
● Jeremy Grove
● Antoinette Mailliard
Applicable Green Committee Goals:
● Pesticide and Herbicide Regulation
● Urban Forestry and Native Plant Programs
DESCRIPTION
A resolution to become a Xerces Society Bee City affiliate, promoting the conservation of native flower
and invertebrate populations and creating a more resilient and rich urban native ecosystem.
RECOMMENDATION
Consider becoming a Bee City affiliate. “Bee City” is a certification program recognizing, supporting,
and encouraging pollinator conservation. Adopting the Bee City Resolution means Calistoga will
commit to: creating and enhancing pollinator habitat, reducing the use of pesticides, and incorporating
pollinator-conscious practices into city policies and practices.
SUMMARY
Becoming a Bee City affiliate is a pledge to:
1. Establish a standing Bee City committee to advocate for pollinators. Functionally, this could be
a Calistoga Green Committee sub-committee, potentially including members of the public.
2. Advocate for creation and enhancing pollinator habitat on public and private land by increasing
the abundance of native plants and providing nest sites.
3. Reduce or eliminate the use of harmful pesticides.
4. Incorporate pollinator-conscious practices into city policies and plans (such as creating an
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan).
5. Host pollinator awareness events for the public.
6. Publicly acknowledge Bee City USA affiliation with signs and an online presence.
7. Pay a small initial application fee ($100) and annual renewal fee ($100).
ANALYSIS
● 85% of flowering plants require a pollinator.
● Most of the food we eat requires pollination.
● Nationwide, agriculture is a $30 billion industry. Here in Napa, agriculture was valued at $1,035
billion dollars.

Item #6.1.
City of Calistoga | COMMITTEE REPORT
● Pollination that supports our food, flowers, and economy comes from butterflies, moths, flies,
beetles, wasps, ants, birds, bats, and bees!
● Bees are the most significant pollinators: 3,600 species of bees live here in the US and of those,
1600 species call California home.
● 70% of native bees nest underground. Unlike non-native honey bees (hive dwellers) they well
adapted do not require effort to raise.
● Pollinator declines: Globally, up to 40% of pollinator species are at risk of extinction. In North
America more than 25% of bumble bee species are in decline. Of these eight are threatened or
presumed extinct.
● Drivers of pollinator decline.
○ Loss and degradation of pollinator habitat and biodiversity.
○ Pesticide/herbicide use.
○ Diseases and pathogens, some carried by non-native honey bees.
○ Climate change.
● Pollinator habitat can be anywhere: Native flowers in urban office landscaping, home gardens,
wetland and bioswales, wildlife and habitat corridors (especially riparian), planting more native
trees,
● We can help pollinators by creating natural nesting sites (bare ground, dead leaves, stems, logs),
reducing or eliminating pesticide use, and spreading the word!
● Bee City affiliates nearby: San Francisco, Fort Bragg, Woodland, Orland, Redding, Sac State,
UC Davis, UC Berkeley, Chico State and many more.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
1. The Bee City application fee for a city with our population is $100.
2. Annual renewal fee of $100.
3. City Staff time to fill out the application.
4. Support for educating city staff, city contractors and the general public.

RESOLUTION NO. _____________
A RESOLUTION of Calistoga, California
designating Calistoga as a BEE CITY USA® affiliate.
WHEREAS, the mission of BEE CITY USA is to galvanize communities to sustain pollinators, responsible
for the reproduction of almost 90% of the world's flowering plant species, by providing them with
healthy habitat, rich in a variety of native plants and free to nearly free of pesticides; and
WHEREAS, thanks to the more than 3,600 species of native bees in the United States, along with
introduced honey bees, we have very diverse dietary choices rich in fruits, nuts, and vegetables; and
WHEREAS, bees and other pollinators have experienced population declines due to a combination
of habitat loss, poor nutrition, pesticides (including insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides), parasites,
diseases, and climate change; and
WHEREAS, pollinator-friendly communities can benefit local and regional economies through
healthier ecosystems, increased vegetable and fruit crop yields, and increased demand for
pollinator-friendly plant materials from local growers; and
WHEREAS, ideal pollinator-friendly habitat (A) is comprised of mostly native wildflowers, grasses,
vines, shrubs, and trees blooming in succession throughout the growing season to provide diverse and
abundant nectar and pollen, since many wild pollinators prefer or depend on the native plants with
which they co-adapted; (B) is free to nearly free of pesticides, as many pesticides can harm pollinators
and/or their habitat; (C) comprises undisturbed spaces (leaf and brush piles, unmown fields or field
margins, fallen trees and other dead wood) for nesting and overwintering; and (D) provides
connectivity between habitat areas to support pollinator movement and resilience; and
WHEREAS, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a long-term approach to maintaining healthy
landscapes and facilities that minimizes risks to people and the environment by: identifying and
removing the causes of pest problems rather than only attacking the symptoms (the pests); employing
pests' natural enemies along with cultural, mechanical, and physical controls when prevention is not
enough; and using pesticides only when no other method is feasible or effective; and
WHEREAS, supporting pollinators fosters broad-based community engagement in environmental
awareness and sustainability; and
WHEREAS, Calistoga, CA should be certified a BEE CITY USA community because; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to enhance understanding among local government staff and the public about
the vital role that pollinators play and what each of us can do to sustain them, Calistoga chooses
to support and encourage healthy pollinator habitat creation and enhancement, resolving as
follows:

created or enhanced.
d. Pollinator-Friendly Pest Management: Create and adopt an integrated pest
management (IPM) plan designed to prevent pest problems, reduce pesticide use,

conservation, identify appropriate locations for pollinator-friendly plantings, and
consider other appropriate measures.
