Should the EPA BAN bee-killing neonic pesticides?

79 percent of endangered species, including several key pollinator species of bees, butterflies and bats are likely to be harmed by at least one neonicotinoid pesticide, according to a new analysis by the EPA.

Key pollinator populations have dramatically declined over the past 20 years, as neonic usage has skyrocketed. The American bumblebee population has dropped by 89 percent and completely disappeared from eight states. Researchers have been ringing alarm bells about neonics’ impacts on pollinators and children’s health for years.

While the EU has completely banned three of the most concerning neonics, the U.S. has yet to take any action to protect key pollinators, like bees, from harmful neonic pesticides. The EPA must act now to protect bees before it’s too late. We need to know: Will you stand up for bees?
