URGENT ACTION NEEDED: The EPA is set to APPROVE bee-killing pesticides for
another 15 years -- but we can still STOP this!

Over the last two decades, the populations of critical wild bee species have PLUMMETED : The Rusty-Patched Bumblebee population has dropped by 87%, the American
Bumblebee by 89%, and the Western Bumblebee by 93%.

Research points to neonics as a leading cause of these massive bee die-offs. The
most widely used pesticides in the world, neonics have made agriculture nearly 50 times more toxic to insects. Neonics are EXTREMELY DEADLY TO BEES. They attack bees’ nervous systems and can harm their ability to navigate, find
food, fight pests and diseases — and even reproduce!

If we’re going to protect wild bees and other pollinators from being wiped out,
we MUST demand an end to the widespread use of bee-killing neonics. Will you
take action NOW to help SAVE THE BEES before it’s too late?

[[link removed]]Bees are essential for our food chain and way of life. We rely on these helpful
little pollinators for 1 out of 3 bites of food that we eat and 75% of the world’s most nutritious food crops like fruits, veggies, and nuts. Almonds wouldn’t even EXIST if it weren’t for bees! And without bees and other pollinators, crops like
coffee and chocolate would be in short supply, making them more expensive and
harder to obtain.

But TOXIC bee-killing neonics are threatening critical pollinators and the
health of our ecosystems. Recent studies have shown that widespread use of
neonics can be harmful to humans — especially children — even being linked to cancer!

The EU has already banned the worst neonics, and states like MD and NJ have
implemented restrictions on them. Yet the EPA is still preparing to APPROVE these DANGEROUS pesticides for ANOTHER 15 years. Wild bees can’t wait that long, Friend, so we urgently
need you to take action with us before it’s too late. Add your name right now to PROTECT POLLINATORS from TOXIC NEONICS! >>
