Right now, bee losses are unsustainable. It is urgent that our regulatory agencies take more aggressive action to prevent further declines of pollinators, and acknowledge the role that pesticides play. Join CFS and Moby in urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to suspend the use of bee-killing pesticides before it's too late.
