Environment Massachusetts heads to local farmers markets to gather support for the bees
As the farmers market season comes to a close, our Save the Bees campaign is ramping up. On October 30, Environment Massachusetts tabled at the East Boston Farmers Market to spread awareness about the harms of bee-killing neonics and what we are doing to save the bees.
Sharing a love of good produce and good weather, we talked to East Boston residents about the importance of bees to nature. Without our pollinators, we wouldn’t have the beautiful fall trees in between the blue tents or the wonderful fall fruit being sold at the market.
That’s why we’re asking Governor Healey to ban neonic-coated seeds. The petition signatures we gathered at the market will be added to many others we’re gathering around the state in support of this effort.
