NATIONAL HONEY BEE DAY is Saturday, August 16, 2014. It’s time to rise up for our most important agricultural pollinator our friendly neighborhood honey bee! ...Help us raise awareness about the plight of our little friends and how toxic synthetic pesticides are killing them off in masses. Systemic neonicotinoid insecticides are the star villains and glyphosate herbicide is a suspect. SWARM to an event near you. Events are happening from Dallas, Texas, to New York City to Amsterdam, Netherlands: https://www.facebook.com/BeeAgainstMonsanto/events IT’S HIGH TIME major retailers like Lowe’s Home Improvement, The Home Depot, and Walmart step up and do the right thing. They need to tell their suppliers to stop pre-treating plants with bee-killing neonics and then marketing them to us, unlabled, as bee-friendly plants. This is an outrage. Tell these retailers to #StopPoisoningOurPollinators and KICK THE CHEMICALS OUT OF YOUR GARDEN TODAY.
