France just made it legal for sugar beet farmers to douse their fields with Bayer’s and Syngenta’s bee-killing pesticides.
This law squashes one of your biggest ever victories: the historic total ban on neonics in France.
But you can still save the bees from Bayer’s and Syngenta’s pesticides -- if you act now.
A courageous group of beekeepers is heading to court to challenge this bee-killing new law. They don’t have long to build up their strong case -- the law goes into effect within weeks.
Can you rush them a donation for their legal fees? Every bit extra we raise will help us fight Bayer’s and Syngenta’s toxic pesticides across the world.
