Lets do the right thing for our children and grandchildren. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this matter.

Please pass the Save America's Pollinator's Act of 2013, HR 2692.

I feel very strongly about this issue and will boycott buying any products from companies which are supporting the use of pesticides that kill bees.

TO HAVE TO ASK YOU TO ACT ON THIS ISSUE TO SAVE OUR BEES IS PATHETIC. DO YOU WANT
THIS EARTH TO SURVIVE OR NOT?

Neonicotinoid pesticides are killing bees which are necessary for our food crops requiring polliation. These untested pesticides need to be taken off the market until adequate tests are done to prove they are safe for the environment and animal and human health.

Please remember that this planet is all that we have and how we treat it today affects generations to come, including your grandchildren and their children.

This issue may not be on the top of most Americans' minds, but there is a simple solution, that has already been tried successfully in Europe, to this crisis situation. Please vigorously support and encourage your colleagues to support with you HR2692 and help to save our fragile ecosystem.

I am writing to call for the urgent and immediate passage of the Save America's Pollinators Act of 2013, HR 2692. Last winter 45% of all honeybees in America died off, losses that have continued to escalate over the last 10 years. At this rate we may not have enough bees to pollinate many of our food crops this very next year.

The European Union has wisely suspended the use of the unusually persistent new neonicotinoid pesticides that have been strongly linked with this colony collapse syndrome. Please do the same.

We Ignore pros tin our bees and other pollinators at our own major risk. More prominent stories about the decline of these species need to be given front page coverage.

Please take action to protect the Bees. Losing them will sting the most.

Save our multimillion agricultural industry and the people who earn their livelihood from this vital source of our basic necessities and income!

No bees , no food!

At this rate, if bees continue to disappear all crops will have to be
hand-pollinated by Americans (a situation experienced by the Chinese, esp. in a particular province [don't recall which one]) - this
is NOT an enviable future!

Don't let the human race die off because of sheer stupidity! In 2005, Walter Haefeker, who sits on the board of directors of the German Beekeepers Association (DBIB) and is vice president of the European Professional Beekeepers Association, ended an article he contributed to the journal Der Kritischer Agrarbericht (Critical Agricultural Report) with an Albert Einstein quote:

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."
- Albert Einstein

This is NOT a dress rehearsal! DO SOMETHING NOW!

It should not take an Act of Congress for the FDA to Perform its duties. The FDA Chairman is asleep at the wheel and must be removed and replaced immediately by a competent individual who WILL do the job correctly.

No bees, no food. Very simple equation. Stop the chemicals which are destroying our bees.

Is the EPA in the employ of corporate America? Are they afraid to act for fear of losing funding?

WE NEED TO USE THE BRAINS INSTEAD OF THE POCKETBOOKS. WITHOUTH OUR BEES WE ALL PERISH AS WELL.
WAKE UP AND DO THE CORRECT AND BEST THINGS TO SAVE OUR BEES. STOP YOUR DESTRUCTION OF OUR PLANET

Bees are crucial pollinators for our food supply. Killing them off with pesticides will destroy our crops. We need to get the toxic chemicals out of our food and protect beneficial insects such as bees.

"Cides" kill...fungicides, pesticides, herbicides...this Earth is a sanctuary for all beings and life forms. We are all guests in the home of Mother Earth. We must show great respect whiele visiting along with the other guests, all here for the purpose of enhncig love and spiritual growth and promoting, increasing Light. Instead, most humans increase darkness and cause blood, pain, suffering, death, corruption, pollution. Organic Veg'n and compassion Path is the only way we are to live by, road we are to walk upon.

IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE BEES ARE SAVED,

I am bewildered by your action in this matter or rather, the lack of action on your part, since this problem is BEYOND serious. If you don't take immediate action, there will be many many more people starving in the world... IN THIS COUNTRY!

Please get behind this legislation and STOP listening to the big corporations who ONLY care about their bottom line profitability AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE IMPACT OF WHAT THEY DO AND MAKE! These companies are the same ones who claim that there is NO SUCH THING as global warming... yet, here we are, in the middle of global warming.

Let's put a stop to this obstructionism and make our world a better place... PLEASE!

Where does greed stop? Must we destroy this planet? Our political and social elites are not responding to the needs of Americans or the needs of the planet. They have all the money and power in the world to help but they don't care to help. They are too busy stuffing money into their greedy pockets.

Bees pollinate a third of all our nuts, fruits and vegetable. It would be an economic disaster for many communities including mine in Chico, CA if bees continue to die in record numbers.
