Bees

Details: Published on Saturday, 15 February 2020 05:20; Written by editor

Bayer just scored a huge victory in Canada. The bee-killing pesticide ban we won just got put on hold.

That’s grim news for bees -- but if we expose who’s behind this delay we could get the ban back on track.

Bee-killing pesticides should have been off the shelves in Canada soon -- but the government just put the ban on hold.

Apparently, they’ve seen new information showing neonic pesticides don’t harm bees. Sigh.

It sounds like the usual dirty tricks from Bayer -- but we need to prove it.

If we can quickly prove Bayer is behind this, we can get this ban back on track, so Canada’s vast farms become safer havens for bees.

We need evidence to take to the Canadian government ASAP. Can you chip in to hire investigative researchers to get to the truth?

Canada is one of the biggest producers of food in the world. So it’s bad news for the entire world’s bee population if Bayer manages to scupper the hard-fought ban on neonic pesticides.

Scientists around the world agree that neonic pesticides are causing bees to drop dead. Which is why the government’s claims of new evidence are so suspicious. We need to get to the bottom of this and make sure Bayer isn’t meddling in Canada’s neonic ban.

But we can’t commission expert investigators for free -- can you chip in so we can get started today?

A, SumOfUs members like you have been at the forefront of the fight for the bees. Just this past week, you won another victory against new neonic pesticides in France.

Pesticide giants like Bayer and Dow will stop at nothing to keep their bee-killing products on the market. That’s why your help is so critical. We may never have the same financial might as Bayer, but we have something better -- people power. Can you step up?
