SAVE OUR HONEY BEES AND POLLINATORS

OUR BEES ARE BEING KILLED BY CHEMICALS AND POLLUTIANTS
The word on the street is that the White House Pollinator Health Task Force may announce its Federal strategy in the coming weeks – let’s make sure they follow through with swift and meaningful action to protect honey bees and other pollinatorsIt’s well past time for the United States to step up and curb the impacts of bee-toxic pesticides (like “neonics”) from killing more bees and contaminating our environment. We need your help to put pressure on President Obama and the administration to make sure they do the right thing and protect pollinators from bee-toxic pesticides!

As a co-chair of the White House Pollinator Task Force, it is unacceptable for the Environmental Protection Agency to continue dragging its feet on taking meaningful action on this issue. Their current considerations to merely update pesticide labels and encourage states to adopt their own pollinator protection plans are not nearly enough. Bees and other pollinators have been increasingly exposed to these toxic pesticides for long enough – we need action NOW to stop the harms of bee-killing pesticides
