Exciting news, John.

We're extending our match offer for one more day.

Wild bees are falling silent. Many are at risk of extinction.

Together, we can rally the support we need to protect bees from deadly pesticides.

That's why a group of generous donors will match donations to our Fall 2024 Drive for an extra day, doubling your impact for the bees.

Donate now and your gift for the bees will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000 nationwide.

Bees are disappearing left and right.

One bumblebee species hasn't been seen at all since 2006.1

The American bumblebee has completely vanished from eight states.2

The rusty-patched bumblebee isn't doing much better -- its population has dropped 86%.3

We're losing the wild bees that fill our gardens with beautiful buzzing. The silence as insects die off is deafening.

But we won't be silent when bees are dying. And neither will the Environment Colorado hive.

Join our hive with a donation before midnight tonight, and your gift for the bees will be matched, up to $10,000 nationwide.

Thank you,

Ellen Montgomery
