Dear Agnes,

<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0em 1em; font-family:Calibri,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:18px; color:#333; line-height:22px; text-align:left;" align=left>Bee populations are plummeting! Yet the Environmental Protection Agency recently sided with Dow AgroSciences to approve a new, highly toxic bee-killing pesticide called sulfoxaflor.</p>
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0em 1em; font-family:Calibri,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:18px; color:#333; line-height:22px; text-align:left;" align=left><strong>And now the EPA is considering expanding the number of crops this pesticide can be sprayed on to include corn, alfalfa, oats, and several other significant and widely grown crops.</strong></p>
