John,
U.S. beekeepers lost more than 40% of their honeybee populations between April 2019 and April 2020. With bees pollinating many of our food crops, their loss could have a devastating effect on the food supply.
A class of pesticides called neonicotinoids (neonics) contributes to bee die-offs. Neonics impair bees’ natural defense systems, limit their reproductive success and hurt their chances of survival. And despite the vital role bees play in sustaining our food supply, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allows the widespread use of these bee-killing pesticides.
Bees are responsible for ONE of every FOUR bites of food that we eat. Losing them would be a disaster.
It’s time for the EPA to take action and help save the bees. Send a message today demanding a ban on bee-killing 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 even though there is evidence they cause harm to both 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.
Enough is enough. We need to stop this massive national bee die-off before it’s too late. The impact on our food system could be catastrophic.
The EPA can no longer enable pesticide-producing corporations instead of doing its job to protect our health and environment. Take action now to protect bees: Urge the EPA to ban all neonicotinoid pesticides once and for all!
