Designates Common Eastern Bumble Bee as New Jersey State Native Pollinator.

Bill S3102 designates the Common Eastern Bumble Bee (*Bombus impatiens*) as New Jersey's State Native Pollinator. It directly affects the state's symbolic recognition of this bee species, which pollinates key crops like blueberries, cranberries, tomatoes, and peppers. The bill highlights the bee's ecological importance as a "generalist pollinator" supporting diverse ecosystems and over 30% of human food sources, based on research from Rutgers University. This is a ceremonial designation with no new regulations or funding, taking effect immediately upon enactment.
