'Our pollinators are threatened. We know the cause, and it's time to take action.'
That's particularly important for a state where"declining bee populations threaten over $15 billion annually in agricultural production," as Lucas Rhoads, staff attorney with NRDC’s Pollinator Initiative,
in a blog post Tuesday."Many of the state's most valuable crops, including almonds, grapes, and a variety of berries, are dependent—in whole or in part—on pollination by bees and other insects.""Its passage in the most populous state in the nation," Rhoads wrote,"would mark a turning point in the years-long battle to rein in neonics, which contaminate lands and waters nationwide and threaten bees, birds, and entire ecosystems—and even people.
"Getting rid of neonics on lawns, gardens, and golf courses," added Deehan,"would provide a lifeline to pollinators and other key species just in the nick of time."
