Bring Back the Bees, or #BringBacktheBees, is a hashtag activism campaign to raise awareness over the rapidly declining bee population. One of the leading causes of this drastic decrease is the use of harmful pesticides, such as neonicotinoids. These chemicals, also known as neonics, are among the most commonly used pesticides. They are used extensively in agriculture, as well as in home and garden centers. However, research has shown that exposure can kill bees directly, or make them more susceptible to other impacts like disease and climate change.
