HALF the bees are GONE

Astonishing reports have found that American beekeepers lost nearly HALF of their hives in the previous growing season. [EWG] [EWG] [BREAKING: California Bans Bee-Killing Pesticides!]( [Should the EPA follow suit?]( [YES]( [NO]( Friend – Astonishing reports have found that American beekeepers lost nearly HALF of their hives in the previous growing season. But Big Ag continues to dump millions of pounds of bee-killing pesticides on American farmland each year. Overuse of these pesticides – also known as neonics – on farmland is a major contributor to the rapid decline of American bee populations. Studies show that not only do neonics affect bees’ health they may also harm kids’ developing nervous systems and brains. But there is reason to hope, friend. California just banned over-the-counter sales of neonics by 2025. This is great progress, but we need to make sure that bee-killing pesticides are banned nationally.
