Home Depot and Lowes: Stop Killing Bees

By Lisa Archer, Food and Technology program Director, Friends of the Earth Bees are essential to our food system and are dying at alarming rates. Neonic pesticides are a key part of the problem. But we have the power to fix the problem, starting with our own backyards. Here’s the thing. We know Home Depot and Lowe’s can do it! Europe has banned bee-harming pesticides and top retailers in the UK are refusing to sell them. Friends of the Earth is challenging top garden retailers to make the same commitment here in the US. The bees have enough troubles -- our backyard gardens should be havens for bees -- not death traps. www.BeeAction.org
