EPA/USDA Petition re Honeybees and Pesticides - Signing deadline tonight (4/14)
If you're interested... please keep kicked. Thanks. Sponsored by the League of Conservation Voters
http://www.signforgood.com/savethebees/?code=LCV
Bees and other pollinators play a crucial role in our ecosystems and economy, pollinating at least 90 commercially grown crops in the U.S. and nearly 80 percent of all flowering plants, according to the Pollinator Health Task Force. But with honeybee populations plummeting, we need to do more to protect the pollinators from toxic pesticides.
Add your name to call on the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Agriculture to do more to protect honeybee populations!
