Bees are essential to us, but they are dying!

Bees are essential to us, but they are dying!

The Issue

Bee-killing pesticides are among the major reasons that our bees are dying. Some stores have stopped selling them.  When a farmer sprays fields in the daytime when bees are prevalent, they are much more vulnerable to the affects of whatever chemicals are used. According to beekeepers,  many affected bees die upon returning to the hives.

If farmers were to spray their fields after sunset when the majority of bees were in back at their hives,  the lives of  thousands of bees would be spared each day.  Our earth needs the bees for pollination.

If farmers would choose to spray at night, great! If not, it should be mandated by state or federal laws.
