Ban Bee killing chemicals - Catherine - 05-28-2015
Bees everywhere are in trouble. Some things we can't fix, but one thing we can do is stop using bee killing chemicals.
Please sign the petition. Maybe if enough of us sign the chemical company will listen.

Without the bees it will be a hard future for all of us.

I signed.
We cannot afford to endanger bees any more than we are already doing.

Signed. These awful products have been banned in the EU for some while now. It is high time the USA did the same.

This is a partial victory.

It is also an admission that pesticides are killing our bees and we need to protect them because we need them.
It is a very short leap to protecting bees everywhere.
Ontario is trying to protect bees. They know the pesticide is killing them, they restrict its use, but it still gets used in enough cases to cause bee deaths.

We do not even know what effect the chemicals have on humans. We spray our food with them, but we do not know if it is safe.
