Bees are responsible for one in three bites of food we eat, but they’re dying at alarming rates. A growing body of science has found the world's most widely-used insecticides, neonicotinoids (neonics), made by giant chemical companies like Bayer and Syngenta, are a leading driver of their decline. Without bees to pollinate our crops and flowering plants, our entire food system — and our fragile ecosystem itself — is at risk.
Tens of thousands of Friends of the Earth supporters have already taken action to save the bees, and have contributed over $1,000,000 through our bee-related efforts. With the launch of Earth H.Q., we're asking you to help us take the Bee Action campaign to the next level.
