California: The Bees Need You! Help Protect Pollinators From Dangerous Pesticides Take Action Today to Protect The Bees Hanging apple Ban bee-killing pesticides in California! Dear Carol, Autumn is in the air. Its harvest time — from apples to pumpkins, pears to pomegranates, its a season of bounty. Honey bees play a critical role in producing a third of the food we eat, but these important pollinators are in danger. Speak up and tell the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) to act now to protect the bees! You may have heard about colony collapse disorder — a mysterious force thats been killing off massive populations of bees for the past few years. Last season, beekeepers reported record-breaking losses of 40% or more. Devastating. While we know that multiple factors have contributed to bee decline, the science is clear that specific toxic pesticides play a big role in declining bee populations. Help us stop the use of bee-killing pesticides. Federal regulators are dragging their feet to take the action needed to protect the honey bees, so thats why were calling on California state regulators to step up and to take immediate action to protect the bees in the most diverse agricultural state in the nation. Can you help us make a buzz to protect bees?
