Bumblebees are disappearing before our eyes
Pesticides and habitat loss are driving America’s bumblebees to extinction. That’s why we’re working to save them.
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.
