Dear Daniel,

Thanks for taking action through our partnership with MoveOn. Now I have another action that I think could be important to you.

This month Europe fought back against powerful chemical companies and took a big step to protect bees by putting into effect a ban of the top bee-killing "neonic" pesticides. Now it's our turn!

Join Friends of the Earth and our allies in demanding that the EPA take immediate action to protect America's bees.

Bees are critical in producing the majority of our food crops and the evidence is mounting that Bayer and Syngenta's pesticides are a key contributor to mass bee die-offs. However, the EPA continues to ignore even its own scientists and has delayed action until 2018.

But the bees can't wait -- and neither can we! 

Tell the EPA to give bees a chance and ban bee-killing pesticides.

U.S. beekeepers have been consistently losing 40-100 percent of their hives. This winter, beekeepers are likely facing yet another season of historic bee die-offs.  

We can't let the EPA wait another five years to address this crisis. 

This season, give your loved ones the gift of a healthy food future. Help save the small creatures that  make possible one out of every three bites of our food -- from almonds to strawberries.

Please take action today and tell the EPA to ban bee-killing pesticides.

Standing with you,
Peter Stocker
Friends of the Earth
