About this Petition Petition Letter

The honey bee population has been lost by up to 90 percent – due to Colony Collapse Disorder, where bees leave their hives behind and keep relocating Research shows that a common pesticide, Poncho, is helping create the disorder and the Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies continue to fail in taking necessary steps towards researching and monitoring this issue.

STOP Poncho from Killing Honey Bees

To Whom It May Concern

As I'm sure you know, the honey bee population has been lost by up to 90 percent – due to Colony Collapse Disorder, where bees leave their hives behind and never return.

Research shows that a common pesticide, Poncho, may be increasing the disorder and it is very important this issue is reviewed ASAP....and this product shall be banned from usage until further investigation comes about.

Bees are an extreme key to keeping our Earth pollinated and alive - and it's time we protect OUR families.
