Ban Harmful Pesticides Nationwide and Save the Bees
Colony Collapse Disorder has been going on for decades. The amount of beehives nationwide has been decreasing exponentially from 5 million to 2.5 million hives in the U.S. from 1988 to 2015.
The European Union issued a temporary 2-year ban on neonicotinoids, a widely used insecticide that is harmful to bees, but not much has changed. We don't have much time left... Bees are endangered species but pollinate about 30% of the food we eat and close to 90% of wild crops across the world. We strongly urge the U.S Congress to soon ban the use of these harmful insecticides that are killing bees faster than ever. We hope it encourages other countries to do the same.
