Dear Friend,
Stunning new research shows that farmland is now 50 times more toxic to
bees than it was a quarter century ago. It's the first study to measure
how deadly agricultural lands have become for insects—and it shows that
when toxicity levels began to skyrocket, so did the massive bee die-off.
The massive global bee die-off is an environmental catastrophe that's
being almost totally ignored by the mainstream corporate media. That's
why Common Dreams is so essential for shining a bright light on studies
like these and exposing the lies of Monsanto and co. Common Dreams is
working every day to shine a light on the massive global bee die-off.

Scientists and beekeepers have been sounding the alarm for years about
the global bee die-off. Last winter was the worst ever for the U.S.,
which lost 40% of its colonies. There's no "both sides" to the bee
apocalypse. Mountains of scientific evidence like this latest study show
that pesticides like sulfoxaflor and neonicotinoids are the culprit.
But the chemical industry funds its own phony research to claim
innocence, creating confusion in the media and giving the Trump
administration an excuse to lift restrictions on bee-killing pesticides.
Just last month, Trump moved to allow widespread use of sulfoxaflor,
ignoring the evidence. Before that, he shut down one of the most
important federal studies on honeybee populations and repealed a ban on
bee-killing pesticides in wildlife refuges. The massive global bee
die-off remains one of the least-reported environmental catastrophes
ever, threatening our food supply and our ecosystems. When it is
reported, it's too often portrayed as a mystery—not a direct result of
the widespread use of dangerous chemicals in agriculture. Common Dreams
is working to expose the chemical industry's lies. Will you donate to
help support our reporting on bee-killing pesticides and help save the
bees?
