A common farming practice is spreading toxic pesticides into the environment: harming pollinators, wildlife and ecosystems.
We are working to save the bees - from asking Amazon to stop selling bee-killing pesticides to sharing bee-friendly garden tips - and you can help.
Bees play a crucial role in our lives. But as our society uses more pesticides, their populations are plummeting.
