New investigations show that megacorps Bayer, Syngenta and BASF have been undermining all the work we've done to ban bee-killing pesticides in Europe -- by exporting them all over the globe.

From Brazil to India, they're sneakily profiting off the killer chemicals they aren't allowed to sell back home. The result is mass bee die-offs and pesticide-coated produce that makes its way onto our plates here.

According to Unearthed, Bayer and Syngenta rake in nearly $350 million a year off the very bee-killing neonicotinoids that you and I worked so hard to ban in the EU.

Some of their other big moneymakers? Fipronil, linked to mass bee mortalities and banned in Europe in 2017, and the notoriously deadly paraquat, which poisons farmers.

They're taking advantage of countries with less strict pesticide standards -- like Brazil, where their chemicals helped lead to the deaths of 500 million bees in one three-month period last year.

France has already done the right thing and outlawed both the export of pesticides banned in the EU and the import of produce treated with them. Let's use that momentum and show these corporations the public doesn't want their toxic chemicals -- in Europe or anywhere else!

Bayer, Syngenta and BASF: Stop the export of banned bee-killing pesticides.
