Bee safe, not sorry

Silently, billions of bees dying and our entire food chain is in danger. The bees make honey, not only they are a giant, humble workforce, Pollinating 90% of the plants we grow.

Several scientific studies to blame a group of toxic pesticides for their rapid disappearance, and bee populations have increased in four European countries have banned the use of these products. But powerful chemical companies lobbying hard to keep the sell this poison. Our best chance to save the bees now is to push the United States and the European Union to ban this deadly product — their efforts are crucial and will have a ripple effect for the rest of the world.

We have no time to waste — the debate is raging about what to do. This is not just about saving bumble bees, of survival. Let us build a gigantic global buzz requires the EU and the United States to prohibit these killer chemicals and save our bees and our food. Sign the emergency petition now and send it to all, and we will deliver it to the central decision-makers:

Bees are vital for life on Earth — each year, pollinating plants and crops, with an estimated $ 40bn value, over a third of the food supply in many countries. Without immediate action to save the bees could we end up with any fruit therefrom are no vegetables, no, no oils and no cotton.

Recent years have seen a steep and disturbing global decline in bee populations — some bee species are now extinct and the other is only 4% of their former numbers. Scientists have obscure answers. Some studies claim the decline may be caused by a combination of factors, including disease, habitat loss and toxic chemicals. But leading independent research has presented strong evidence for blaming neonicotinoid pesticides. This has led to beekeepers and scientists in France, Italy, Slovenia and even Germany, is the main manufacturer Bayer based, already pushing correctly to the ban of one of these bee killers. In the meantime continues Bayer to export its poison throughout the world.

The problem is now coming to the boil, as major new studies have confirmed the extent of the problem. If we can have European and American decision-makers to take other measures, will follow. It will not be easy. A leaked document shows that the environmental protection agency knew about the pesticide dangers, but ignores them. Document says Bayer's "very toxic" product "great risk concern to non-target insects (bees)".

We must make our voices heard for counter Bayer very strong influence on policy makers and researchers in both the United States and the European Union where they finance studies and sit on the political bodies. The real experts — beekeepers and farmers — these deadly pesticides shall be prohibited, until and unless we have solid, independent studies that show they are safe. Let us support them now.

We can no longer allow our delicate food chain in the hands of research run from the chemical companies and the regulatory authorities in their pockets. Prohibition of this pesticide will move us closer to a secure for ourselves and the other species we care and depends on the world
