Tell Walmart: Take bee-killing pesticides off the shelves

Bee populations are in a nosedive. You’re half as likely to see a bumblebee today as you were just a few decades ago. As bees and essential pollinators continue to disappear, it could have devastating impacts on plant life, including much of our food supply, around the world.

Walmart’s commitments to becoming more bee-friendly are an important first step. But as long as neonicotinoid pesticides are on the store’s shelves, bees are at risk. These pesticides are 1,000 times more deadly to bees than DDT, and eleven states have already made moves to restrict their uses.

Walmart has the chance to become a trailblazer as a truly pollinator-friendly superstore by taking neonicotinoid pesticides off their shelves.
