Friend,
We've already lost billions of bees. A survey showed that 50 billion bees were wiped out in just a few months during the winter of 2018-2019. But we still have a chance to save the bees -- if we get to work right now.[1]
That's why we're working on all fronts to protect them. We're campaigning for mega retailer Amazon to stop selling bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides. We're urging Colorado and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban the worst uses of neonics. And we're asking the Biden administration to restore an Obama-era ban on neonics in wildlife refuges -- the places that bees should be safest.
These campaigns take resources. Before our fiscal year ends on June 30, will you make a donation to support our work to save the bees?

50 billion bees were wiped out in just a few months. That's why we're doing everything we can to save the bees. Will you donate to help us save the bees? Donate today.
Donate before June 30 to help us hit our goal of raising $50,000 in support of this year's important environmental campaigns.

We know one of the leading causes of large-scale bee die-offs is neonicotinoids, or neonics, a widely used pesticide that has been linked to poisoning baby bumblebees' brains and making it harder for adult bees to find food.[2]
And we also know that protecting our pollinators is essential to a healthy planet and our way of life. If we want healthy ecosystems and sustainable food sources for humans and wildlife alike, it all starts with our smallest, hardest-working pollinators.
None of our work to save the bees would be possible without you. Make a donation today to help give bees a chance.
