Tell the Biden administration to give bees a safe haven

Bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides are 1,000 times more toxic to bees than DDT. They’ve made America’s agricultural landscape 48 times more toxic to bees than it was just a few decades ago. And they’re allowed to be used in the places where bees should be safest of all — wildlife refuges.

I urge you to reinstate the Obama-era ban on the use of bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides in wildlife refuges. It’s time to give our best pollinators their wildlife refuges back and protect these important habitats.
