Our bee populations are on the verge of extinction. But we can do something to save them. Send a message to the EPA demanding a ban on bee-killing pesticides.

John,
Last year U.S. beekeepers lost more than 40% of their honeybee populations, and with bees pollinating most of our produce and nut crops, their loss could have a devastating effect on the food supply.
We know the culprit: Scientists have uncovered a mountain of evidence showing that a class of pesticides called neonicotinoids contribute to bee die-offs. But despite bees’ vital role in sustaining our food supply, the Environmental Protection Agency has approved the widespread use of bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides. These toxic chemicals impair bees’ natural defense systems, limit their reproductive success and hurt their chance of survival.
Send a message to EPA Administrator Michael Regan asking to ban the use of neonicotinoid pesticides.

Widely-used neonicotinoid pesticides cause nervous system problems in bees that stop them from pollinating and breeding. The EPA has a history of allowing the use of bee-killing pesticides despite the evidence they cause harm to humans and bees. This dangerous stance means that not only will humans be eating, drinking and breathing pesticide poisons for years, but bee colonies will also continue to suffer.
Take Action to Protect Bees

Bees are remarkable pollinators, and losing them would be a disaster. At Food & Water Watch, we do everything in our power to protect bees by fighting to ban dangerous pesticides and protect the food supply we all depend on — but we need your help.
Send a message to the EPA demanding a ban on bee-killing pesticides before it’s too late.
