Sierra Club Press Release: "We urge the American public to view the outstanding documentary entitled Nicotine Bees" "Bravo! Nicotine Bees is an outstanding documentary (Dr. Neil Carman)" Read and Download Our letter to the USEPA requesting a 2-Year Suspension of Nicotine pesticides in a 'test region' such as California or Florida Nicotine Bees (available on Amazon.com) gets to the truth about why the honeybees of the world are in big trouble, and why our food supply is in trouble with them.   The answers are clear - and have been for several years. We filmed on 3 continents to find out the real reasons why bees are in catastrophic decline - and why many people don't want the real story to be told. Although the bees have been in a slow decline for years, something else started in 2005-2006: a sharp and catastrophic collapse of bee colonies in dozens of countries simultaneously – with the same weird bee behaviors.   The answers have been right in front of us: the worldwide, simultaneous dieoffs of honeybees - with a strange set of behaviors seen everywhere. With the continuing bee collapse, one third of our food supply is at risk - yet despite the clear-cut scientific data, especially from Europe, in news reports this is issue is still called "mysterious."   We think this crisis is not mysterious. The answers are clear-cut from evidence from Europe and the US, from observations of similar effects from Europe to Canada to India, and in dozens of states across the US.   We systematically ruled-out the other possible causes of this massive die-off to find the one underlying explanation that really works: all over the world, at the same time, with the same bizarre behaviors: bees simply leave their precious honey and young bees behind.   They don't come home.   We think we know why, and Nicotine Bees is ready to show what has happened.
