<P>Bayer is fuming: the EU’s top court has ruled to <STRONG>uphold a
ban on bee-killing pesticides</STRONG>.</P>
<P>So Bayer and its pesticide cronies are playing rough --
<STRONG>pressuring national governments to slip toxic neonics
through an “emergency” loophole in the law.</STRONG></P>
<P>Make no mistake -- this is a tactic pesticide companies will
repeat over and over until it destroys this bee-saving ban.</P>
<P>That’s why <STRONG>a small group of beekeepers is preparing to
sue</STRONG> against these fake “emergencies” -- and <STRONG>force
governments to properly enforce the ban</STRONG>. But this won’t be
just one lawsuit -- this could take years of constant legal battles
until Bayer and Big Ag give up.</P>
<P>So we need to be ready. Just $2 today <STRONG>will go into a
mega-legal fund for beekeepers to access the minute they need to sue
governments for spraying toxic neonics</STRONG>. People-powered
lawsuits have always been our best weapon against the likes of Bayer
-- can you chip in to close this bee-killing loophole?</P>

<P>Here’s what’s happening: a ban on bee-killing neonics was passed
years back in the EU. Bayer just lost an appeal to overturn this
law. But the pesticide lobby has found another tactic to keep its
poisons on our fields: backing industrial farms to come up with
“emergencies” to dodge the rules.</P>
<P>Every minute, <STRONG>field after field is soaking in bee-killing
poisons</STRONG>. And bees are still dropping dead.</P>
<P>People like <STRONG>you fought for and won this historic
bee-saving ban</STRONG> on pesticides. So you can fight to save it
too.</P>
<P>These <STRONG>beekeepers are ready to sue any national government
that is caving in to Bayer, Syngenta and other pesticide bullies’
lobbying</STRONG>: but without financial backing, they won’t be able
to pay the lawyers.</P>
<P>So today, we’re asking if you’ll help create <STRONG>the world’s
first mega-legal fund to save Europe’s bees</STRONG>. Beekeepers and
bee-defenders everywhere can access it whenever they’re up against
Bayer, and keep toxic neonics banned forever.</P>
