EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan,

Bees pollinate 70 of the 100 crops that provide 90% of the world’s food. But they can’t pollinate if they’re fighting disease and record die-offs due to poisonous pesticides.

Right now, bees across the U.S. are on the brink. Between American bumblebees disappearing from whole states to honeybees facing record losses in recent years, it’s time to pull one of the greatest levers for protecting bees.

That’s why today, I urge the EPA to ban the worst uses of neonicotinoid pesticides.
