In January, you helped us induct the world’s leading bee-killer, Bayer CropScience, into the Corporate Accountability International Hall of Shame. Bayer is the leading manufacturer of neonicotinoid pesticides, identified by scientists as the primary culprit in Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).
Since January, the plight of U.S. honeybees has grown even worse. Forty-two percent of the nation’s honeybee colonies died off between April 2014 and April 2015.
What is Bayer’s reaction to these alarming statistics? A litany of excuses and a host of tobacco industry-style public relations campaigns, including establishing its own “Bee Care” Center.
It’s time for Bayer CEO Marijn Dekkers to wake up and smell the poison.
TAKE ACTION: Tell Bayer to stop manufacturing bee-killing pesticides!
