[Pollinator] Map your honey bee haven

[Paul Towers]

Dear Partners:


Bees are in trouble, and policymakers just aren’t acting quickly enough to
help them. But backyard gardeners, sideline beekeepers and ordinary people
all over the country have been stepping up.

 To that end, we’re excited to announce the launch of a new website and
resource center HoneyBeeHaven.org to help advance the cause.  But we need
your help to spread the word:

*1. Take the pledge*. Take the pledge to protect pollinators – bees need
access to pesticide-free food, water and shelter…and every bit of habitat
makes a difference.

*2. Map your Honey Bee Haven*. It’s easy to do, and will demonstrate the
groundswell of citizen support to protect pollinators from pesticides – by
creating Honey Bee Havens and Pesticide-Free Zones – now.

*3. Share with your networks*. Please share this email or link (
http://bit.ly/zFYem5) to the new site on Facebook and Twitter
(#honeybeehaven).

 Since colonies began collapsing in 2006, beekeeping is on the rise
alongside urban homesteading and organic gardening -- people are doing
whatever we can in our personal lives to create safe spaces for pollinators.

You don’t need to be a beekeeper or avid gardener to create a safe haven --
tucking a few containers of bee-friendly plants on a balcony or front stoop
will get you started.

 Many thanks for your commitment to these noble and necessary pollinators.



Sincerely,

Sara, Heather, Paul, Andrew and the rest of the team at Pesticide Action
Network
