I just received this update: "According to a 2017 report from the Center for Biological Diversity, nearly 1 in 4 pollinators are imperiled and at increasing risk of extinction.

What’s killing the bees? 

Neonicotinoid pesticides, sold by Bayer, and used by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) to pretreat seeds (which adds to the cost of the seeds, without providing any benefit).

It’s time to reintroduce the Save America’s Pollinators Act, a bill that would suspend the use of neonicotinoids and require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to complete a thorough assessment, and ensure that any uses of these insecticides do not cause unreasonable and adverse effects on pollinators. "

(Update quoted from Richard Kemp, with "KTRR Radio,"  "KSAN Radio," and "AmericasFarmReport.com)

Please sign this petition and contact your congress-person and ask them to reintroduce this bill, support it, and help the nation's pollinators, as well as other creatures in our web-of-life, these neonicotinoid pesticides are killiing.

For more information on the these pesticides, you can read my article on the plight of the pollinator.
