Dear friend,
American bumblebee populations have already dropped by 89 percent and have entirely disappeared in eight states, according to a recent study. Their rapid decline is so alarming, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering adding these key pollinators to the endangered species list!
Yet Big Ag continues to dump millions of pounds of bee-killing neonic pesticides on American farmland each year. This is despite the fact that the most common uses of neonics provide little benefit to farmers!
It’s time for the U.S. to protect bees! Click here to add your name to EWG’s petition urging the government to BAN bee-killing pesticides and list bees as an endangered species.

These dangerous chemicals don’t just affect bees, they may also harm kids’ developing nervous systems and brains. Neonics are used on some of kids’ favorite foods, like raisins, potatoes and cherries. The CDC recently found neonics in 50% of children in the U.S. ages 3 to 5!
The EU has already banned four neonics. We think it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit. We need 50,000 of our top supporters to help us convince the government to protect bees and BAN neonics!
TAKE ACTION: Protect pollinators and our environment! Click here to urge the U.S. to ban bee-killing neonic pesticides.
