Dear Friend,

BEE ALERT: More than half a billion bees have died in Brazil over the
last 4 months after the government approved an unprecedented number of
bee-killing pesticides. Bee species were already facing extinction, and
the massive die-off in Brazil has been a gut-punch to their survival.
The massive global bee die-off is one of the most under-covered
environmental catastrophes ever, and Common Dreams is one of the only
news outlets giving this issue the coverage it deserves. Will you donate
to Common Dreams and help expose the dangers of bee-killing pesticides?

Before the Bolsonaro government took power in Brazil, more than 700
pesticides were classified as 'extremely toxic' and banned for use in
Brazil. Now that number is just 43. The country is allowing the use of
dozens of bee-killing pesticides that have been banned in the European
Union and North America. It's not just in Brazil where bees are in
danger. Many of the pesticides used in Brazil are neonicotinoids,
chemicals that damage bees' nervous systems and harm reproduction.
Neonics contributed to the loss of 40% of U.S. honeybee colonies last
winter. But the Trump administration has ignored research and rolled
back limits on neonicotinoids, putting the bees in even more danger.
Bees pollinate in every three foods we eat, and they are critical to our
ecosystem. That's why Common Dreams is going to keep shedding light on
the disastrous bee die-off and expose the chemical industry's lies about
its dangerous chemicals. Common Dreams is exposing the dangers of the
bee die-off around the world. Will you donate to help support our
reporting on bee-killing pesticides and help save the bees?
