The New "F" Word

Heard of Flupyradifurone? We call it the new "F" word. This virtually unpronounceable new pesticide is about to get the green light in Canada -- and it's more bad news for bees. Help change Canada's "kill bees first, ask questions later" approach to regulating pesticides by submitting a comment today: http://action2.davidsuzuki.org/bees

Ban the new "F"-word

Thanks for taking action to protect the bees, birds and butterflies from potentially harmful pesticides like Flupyradifurone. The period for making comments about what we are calling the "new F-word" has closed.

Thanks to more than 100,000 concerned Canadians that submitted comments, we are hopeful that the federal government will err on the side of caution and not approve this pesticide.

In the meantime, please take two minutes to send a message to our federal and provincial government leaders to demand that existing neonicotinoid pesticides are banned in Canada.

Take action now to #SavetheBees!
