Groups Urge Governor To Sign The Bird And Bees Protection Act

Neonics devastate the bees, birds, and other pollinators critical to New York’s food security, economy, and environment. Neonics also threaten New Yorkers’ health, especially that of children. The Birds and Bees Protection Act would address worsening neonic contamination by banning the harmful and unnecessary uses accounting for 80-90% of the neonics entering the states’ environment every year. Daniel Raichel of NRDC talks to Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine as to whether Governor Hochul will sign the bill into law.
