Save the bees

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. Fortunately, we know how to help them: protecting already-existing bee habitat, expanding habitat by planting pollinator-friendly plants in our own gardens and on public lands, and ending the worst uses of the pesticides that are killing them. Together, we can save the bees.

Statement: California law requires new labels for pesticide-coated seeds

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A bill to require new labels with the amount of pesticides on treated seeds sold to farmers was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday.  AB 1042, introduced by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, will provide farmers with clear information on the amount of pesticide used per seed. The bill was sponsored by Environment California, NRDC and the American Bird Conservancy.
