Environment California: Tell Target To Stop Selling Bee-killing Neonic Pesticides

The science is crystal clear: Neonicotinoids are killing bees. And yet neonics continue to be among the world’s most widely deployed pesticides. Honeybee colony losses average more than 40% annually nationwide. Wild bees are even more at risk, and species such as the rusty-patched bumblebee and the Western bumblebee are on the brink of extinction. Of the approximately 50 different species of bumblebees in the U.S., more than a quarter of them are facing some degree of extinction risk. Major retailers, including Target, are selling these bee-killing pesticides. Target can help save the bees if it commits to no longer sell chemicals that hurt pollinators. Join us in urging Target to halt its sale of neonicotinoid pesticides. Act HERE
