In most states, you can still walk into a Home Depot and buy a gallon of this
deadly pesticide right off the shelf.

Jack,



A bee lifts off from a flower, buzzing back towards her home with a harvest of
pollen.



But then her flight falters. She’s navigated to and from the hive every day
since she first took flight, but now she can’t even move in a straight line no
matter how hard she tries. Alone and confused, she might never make it home --
all because of pesticides called neonicotinoids, or neonics.



Neonics damage bees’ brains and can even kill them outright -- but you can
still easily buy gallons of this deadly pesticide at Home Depot.



Tell Home Depot to save the bees and stop selling neonic pesticides.

We have bees and other pollinators to thank for so much of our planet’s
beauty. Over 80% of flowering plants depend on pollinators to thrive.



But every time a bee sets out to forage today, it’s less likely than ever that
she will make it home alive. America’s agricultural landscape has become 50
times more toxic to insects than it was in the 1990s, when neonicotinoids were
first introduced.



Neonics can seep into waterways and travel for miles. They get absorbed into
the leaves, pollen, and nectar of plants far from the place the chemicals were
originally applied. Little truly safe habitat remains, and bee populations are
plummeting.



Home Depot can make a big difference for the bees by getting neonics off its
store shelves.

We know we can encourage Home Depot to do the right thing if we work together.
The company has already reduced its offerings of plants treated with neonics at
its stores.


The next step is to get all neonics off the shelves at Home Depot. The fewer
neonics we use on lawns and gardens across America, the safer bees will be to
thrive.



Add your name to help save the bees today.
