Bees are in danger which endangers a third of our food supply.  If they don’t pollinate, fruits and vegetables don’t develop.  Governor Hochul hasn’t signed The New York Birds and Bees Act and the Supreme Court has weakened the authority of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).  This calls for continued grass roots action. 

Neonicotinoids (neonics) are among the chemicals killing bees and other pollinators.  Europe and Canada took action to curtail the spread of these dangerous chemicals, and we need to pressure the US to get on board.

Call Michael Regan, EPA Administrator (202.584.4700) or write (Regan.Michael@epa.gov) and help move The New York Birds and Bees Act into law; both State Houses signed and sent it to Hochul where it languishes on her desk. (518.474.8390)
