Dear friends,

Right now, billions of bees are dying. Already, there are nowhere near
enough honeybees in Europe to pollinate the crops, and in California
-- the biggest food producer in the US -- beekeepers are losing 40% of
their bees each year.

We're in the middle of an environmental holocaust that threatens all
of us, because without pollination by bees, most plants and ⅓ of our
food supply are gone.

Scientists are sounding the alarm about pesticides that are toxic to
bees, and most of them agree we are using way, way more pesticides on
our crops than we need. But as with oil companies and climate change,
big drug companies that sell pesticides are fighting back with
corporate-funded junk science that questions the evidence, and gives
politicians an excuse to delay.

Scientific studies are expensive. Avaaz may be the only crowdsourced
funding model in the world able to raise enough to fund a large scale,
grass-roots supported, totally independent study of what's killing our
bees, that decisively challenges the junk science of big pharma. The
need is urgent, and if we can't do this, it's not clear who can. Let's
see if we can raise a massive fund to save our bees.

Click to pledge what you can, we'll process your donation only if we
raise enough for a definitive study:

We're running out of time. A new study has revealed the scary truth:
in more than half of European countries, there are not enough
honeybees to pollinate crops. In the UK, the honeybee population is
only a quarter of what is actually needed for pollination -- and
although other kinds of bees are stepping in to fill the honeybee
void, we'll likely start losing them too if we keep loading our crops
down with pesticides.

And it might all be for nothing: in the 70 years since pesticides were
introduced, we've learned that some of them do more harm than good
when it comes to cultivating our food because they kill off the
natural enemies of pests. Worse still, over time many pests become
immune to pesticides, forcing farmers to use more and more deadly
chemicals -- often poisoning themselves in the process.

Everyone from official government agencies to scientists agree that
one group of widely-used pesticides called neonicotinoids is killing
bees. But chemical giants like Bayer and their supporters continue to
argue against regulation of their products, presenting self-funded
research they claim show pesticides aren't necessarily responsible for
the bees' deadly decline. And it's working -- in the United States,
the newest battleground for the ban on deadly pesticides, the
government says there is not yet enough evidence to justify a ban. If
we lose in the US, Europe could follow suit and lift their own
temporary hold on these dangerous chemicals.

It's time to end the debate once and for all. When enough of us
pledge, Avaaz will fund research by highly-respected scientists to
fill critical gaps in knowledge. Then, we can join beekeepers and
local advocacy organisations in a massive global offensive to save the
bees by fueling strategies like:

Organising a media tour with our giant Bernie the bee to ensure the
research shows up in the world's biggest media outlets.
Funding public opinion polls in key agricultural countries to smash
the claim that farming communities can't survive without bee-killing
chemicals.
Going after retailers to take the deadly pesticides off their
shelves.It's already happening in Europe, but we'll get supermarkets
and garden centres around the globe to follow suit.
Campaigning hard to get a game-changing anti-pesticides bill that has
been lounging in the US congress passed once and for all.
Naming and shaming those pushing the bee-killing pesticides by running
hard-hitting billboard and newspaper ads.
Taking legal action to stop government agencies that have approved
neonicotinoid pesticides, despite evidence proving they are toxic to
bees and a host of other beneficial creatures.

The bees are up against a well-oiled, resource rich machine that will
do whatever it takes to ensure the profits of chemical companies and
big agriculture don't take a hit. Pledge now to support a massive
effort to save the bees -- Avaaz will only process donations if we
raise enough to make a difference:

If the bees die out, the world we hand off to our grandchildren will
look very different -- apples and almonds could become exotic foods in
our supermarkets. But we're making incredible progress in the fight to
protect our precious pollinators: last year 2.4 million Avaaz members
were part of a massive movement in Europe that convinced the EU
Parliament to place a 2-year ban on the worst bee-killing chemicals.
If our movement joins forces now to clear up the false debate that's
stalling our legislators, we could win urgently-needed pesticide bans
all over the world and end the chemical war on bees once and for all!

With hope and determination,

Ricken, Mia, Emma, Allison, Christoph, Mais, Emily, Ian, Jeremy and
the whole Avaaz team
