Winter is hard on bees. Some stick together, huddling in a buzzing ball to stay warm in their hive. Others undertake a long hibernation alone in their nests.[1] But even when the earth thaws, spring won't bring much relief.

As green shoots poke up from the ground and buds appear on branches, bees will once again be faced with an old enemy: deadly pesticides.

Neonicotinoid pesticides (neonics) scramble bees' brains and assault their nervous systems -- and the impact of the widespread uses of neonics is reverberating across our ecosystems.[2] Nearly a quarter of wild bumblebee species in the U.S. are teetering on the brink of extinction.[3]

To help save the bees, we need to make sure we go into the new year with all the resources we can -- and that's where you come in.

Donate today to have your gift matched by generous donors. If you give before midnight, you'll double your impact for the bees.

We're making progress. This year, Environment Colorado won a law restricting bee-killing pesticides, now one of 10 states to do so. But we need to go even bigger and even bolder for the bees next year.

We're going to raise a call on Amazon to stop selling bee-killing pesticides that's too loud to be ignored.

We're going to keep seizing time-sensitive opportunities to deliver public comments from supporters like you to the Environmental Protection Agency, urging it to ban the worst uses of these pesticides nationwide.

And we're going to continue to call on state leaders to act on neonics and to plant more bee-friendly habitat on public lands.

But to do all this and more, we need the whole Environment Colorado hive to stand with us. Will you donate to our Year-End Drive before the deadline at midnight tonight? For one day only, your donation will be matched up to $100,000 nationwide.
