John,
Days ago scientists announced a huge discovery: a micro immunization that can protect bees from deadly pesticides forever – it's incredible!
We need to urgently build momentum around it to save as many bees as possible.
Neonicotinoid pesticides are so toxic that one teaspoon is enough to kill 1.25 billion honeybees. But this new discovery renders the poison completely harmless! Ideas like this can catch fire or die on the vine, and the moments after the study is published are the most critical. Governments across Europe, North America and in dense bee areas like South America need to decide now to support this work, line up distribution and study the many uses for this amazing new drug.
We're the best community in the world to make that happen. Because we're global, we're huge and we've got a long track record of advocating for the best bee solutions. If we can raise enough money now to run the companion studies plus publicity and advocacy, we can get this life saving drug into as many bee colonies as possible before it's too late.

This kind of discovery is once-in-a-lifetime – the moonshot bees need to survive long enough for the world to eradicate the pesticides killing their entire community and our only source of food pollination. And it's come not a moment too soon. Even with the incredible work of our community to ban harmful neonic pesticides in major US states and across Europe, these pesticides are flooding the global market and decimating entire colonies.
Even local beekeepers can't keep their carefully tended hives safe.
Now we need to bring global support and urgency to make this one scientific paper a worldwide phenomenon fast. We saw during Covid how quickly the world can unite around scientific discoveries if the people force them to act. This is as important to our future – bees are essential to our entire food system!
Campaigners and bee advocates are standing by ready to take the science, the momentum of our movement and the financial support they need into the halls of power where these kinds of big system decisions get made – chip in now to arm them with the resources they need!

We have been fighting tirelessly for bees for years, and there's so much more that needs to be done. But this chance at some critical breathing room for the most essential bee colonies is truly a miracle. When we come together we often make miracles happen – let's do it this time for these beautiful life-saving creatures.
