Australia has one of the healthiest bee populations in the world -- but this safety for these bees might not last much longer.
Just last month the world’s deadliest threat to bees - the varroa destructor mite - made it to Australian shores for the first time.
This should’ve been a wakeup call to finally ban key bee-killing pesticides. Instead, Australian politicians are too busy cosying up to corporate chemicals giants.
We need your help. If you donate today, you’ll help commission a groundbreaking investigation exposing Bayer & Co’s stranglehold over Australian politicians, protecting one of the healthiest bee populations in the world.
With this, you’ll help get one step closer to a ban on bee-killing pesticides in Australia, protecting a safe haven for bees. We’ve done this before in France and Canada (thanks to the help of incredible SumofUs members like you!), and with your help, we can do it again.
Will you please chip in to stop Bayer and chemicals giants threatening the safety of one of the world's healthiest bee populations?
