Ready for a little bee activism?

Written By Amanda Barusch

Hi Folks,

Some of you will know that I've long admired the honeybee. Others will know that Einstein said if honeybees went extinct humans would soon follow. Well, colony collapse disorder is decimating our bee population. The EPA has been dragging its feet on suspending approval of a proven cause, the pesticide clothianidin produced by Bayer.

I hope you'll do all you can tu urge them to take action.

The bees will thank you . . . in their way.
