Silently, billions of bees are dying off and our entire food chain is in danger. Bees
don't just make honey -- they are a giant, humble workforce, pollinating 75% of growing
plants. In five days the US could move to ban the toxic pesticides that are killing them
off.
Right now chemical companies are furiously lobbying US authorities to stop action. But
insider allies say a massive public mandate could tip the scales towards a ban. Let's
give it to them! If the US moves, it will set in motion a ripple effect on the rest of
the world.
Please join the call for a ban to save the honey bees:

As an aside, honey bees, which were imported from Europe, are only a small part of the bee
population and the native bees, many of which are solitary, are equally if not more
important in pollination. It's just that the honeybees have lobbyists.
