<P>Beekeepers are on the verge of a crucial court

<P>A<STRONG> courageous group of beekeepers is fighting a court
battle to protect their bees from Bayer's bee-killing
pesticides</STRONG>. And they badly need your help right now,
Vladimir. </P>
<P>In just a few weeks the court will make a decision on
the <STRONG>Europe-wide ban of neonicotinoid
pesticides.</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>Bayer's lawyers have been trying to bury the beekeepers
with paperwork</STRONG>. And the beekeepers are exhausted. After
months of legal bills, our brave beekeepers don't have the funds
they need to continue -- and the added financial strain of the
Covid-19 crisis has got their entire organisation on the verge of
collapse.</P>
<P><STRONG>Only a last-minute injection of funds from you and other
SumOfUs members can help them keep their lights on and stay in the
game till Bayer's threat to the bees is defeated.</STRONG> Can you
chip in so they can keep going at this crucial moment?</P>

I'll chip in to help the beekeepers defeat Bayer in court.</A> </P>
<P>This is<STRONG> a case of might versus right.</STRONG> Bayer has
spent years appealing the ban on neonicotinoid pesticides.</P>
<P>With its bottomless pockets and army of expensive
lawyers,<STRONG> Bayer thinks it can bulldoze right over that
hard-earned verdict.</STRONG></P>
<P>But Bayer forgot about something: You. <STRONG>You and the rest
of the amazing SumOfUs community have always been there to protect
the bees when they needed you</STRONG>, whether convincing the EU to
pass its game-changing neonics ban or pushing US hardware stores to
remove the bee-toxic pesticides from their shelves.</P>
<P>SumOfUs members have been supporting the beekeepers' battle
against Bayer from the very start, and it's<STRONG> only with your
help that they'll be able to see it through</STRONG>. Please can you
chip in to get this case to the finish line and keep campaigning to
protect the bees?</P>
