[PAA-Discuss] Deadline Tuesday: Save the honey bees!

[Juli3 at aol.com]

Dear Friend, Since 2006, U.S. honey bee  populations have been in 
precipitous decline, with some estimates suggesting  losses as high as 30% per year. 
While that's terrible, the problem is far  greater than just the loss of a 
species. Without bees, our food supply is in  serious danger. Pollination by 
honey bees is key in cultivating the crops that  produce a full one-third of 
our food. A leaked memo suggests the U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency 
has ignored the science linking the pesticide  clothianidin to the bee 
die-off. Now the EPA is considering whether to renew  approval of clothianidin. 
Submit a comment asking EPA to reject this dangers  chemical that is killing 
honey bees - hurry, the comment period closes on  Tuesday:
