If you’re in Canada, it’s not the season to plant bee-friendly plants, but you can still help protect our bees by sending an email to Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulation Agency, which has requested input from Canadians on whether or not to ban neonicotinoids in Canada. Go to Sierra Club Canada’s page to do this, or to the Wilderness Committee’s resource page. All comments must be received by December 12, 2013.
