Tell Bayer: Stop Killing Our Bees

After nearly a decade of skyrocketing bee deaths, a shocking 42% of America’s honeybee colonies collapsed over the past year alone. 

One of the main culprits is a class of next-generation “neonic” pesticides that are up to 10,000 times more toxic to bees than DDT. German aspirin maker Bayer manufactures more neonics than any other company in the world, and we need your help to stop the company’s assault on bees. 

70% of our nation’s major crops rely on bees for pollination. Bayer has no plans to stop selling toxic neonics, and we must act before it’s too late. 

Sign your name and tell Bayer to stop selling bee-killing pesticides in the U.S. 

To Bayer CEO Marijn E. Dekkers: 

I am appalled that Bayer has continued to ignore, hide or attack the mounting scientific evidence that "neonic" pesticides are a key factor in the alarming collapse of bee colonies.

Study after study shows that neonics can debilitate, sicken and kill bees—vital pollinators that are indispensable to our food supply. As a direct result, the European Union has imposed a moratorium on selling these bee-toxic products in Germany and across the E.U. But your company, the largest maker of neonics, has refused to act responsibly and remove them from the U.S. market.

Bayer's stated mission is "Science for a Better Life." Please heed the science now because there will be no better life without bees. I call on you to stop selling bee-killing neonics immediately. That is the only way to restore Bayer's reputation and rebuild the trust of consumers like me. Otherwise, you will face mounting public outrage from consumers like me who can and will refuse to purchase your products.
