We know neonicotinoids kill bees. Now these pesticides are showing up in our drinking water.

A quarter of everything we eat — from apples to zucchini — depends on pollination which means it depends on bees pollinating the crops. But beekeepers from around the world are reporting a the worst pandemic of a bee population collapse ever recorded.
Chemical-giant Bayer which markets aspirin and Alka Seltzer, has toxic agricultural pesticides linked to this unprecedented bee die-off. The EPA has the power to ban the pesticides, but so far has bowed to pressure from Bayer. Our nation's food supply is at risk without our bees!
