<P>Scientists just sounded the alarm: <STRONG>Bees are dropping dead
all over Africa.</STRONG></P>
<P>And who’s behind it? You guessed it,<STRONG> Bayer’s bee-killing
pesticides.</STRONG></P>
<P>Thanks to you, Bayer is finding it harder and harder to sell
neonics in Europe. So it decided to take its bee-killing business to
Africa and <STRONG>flood the market with cheap
neonics</STRONG>. Beekeepers have already reported plummeting
numbers.</P>
<P>A brave group of scientists in Ghana is fighting hard to get
Bayer’s neonics banned, before it’s too late.</P>
<P>But they’re operating on a shoestring -- so they’ve asked for
<STRONG>your help to build the evidence they desperately need to
send Bayer’s pesticides packing.</STRONG></P>

<P>In Ghana, Bayer’s pesticides are already having <STRONG>a
devastating impact</STRONG>. Cocoa covers over 30% of Ghanaian
farmland, which is now loaded with lethal neurotoxins like
imidacloprid, which leach into surrounding soil. Yields are falling
and experts say it’s because these chemicals are harming key
pollinators -- but to win over key officials, they need more
evidence.</P>
<P>Ghana has an election coming up so <STRONG>it’s the perfect time
to ramp up the pressure</STRONG>. With your help, Ghanaian
scientists can run a study to show the damage neonics are wreaking
on local biodiversity and then launch a huge advocacy and media push
to get out the results.</P>
<P>Showing neonics are actually hurting Ghana's economy could shift
the whole national conversation and help secure a ban -- that could
spread across the continent. All they need is a little help to get
started. </P>
