For many Americans, popcorn ranks high on the list of snack favorites and has unquestionably become a movie theater staple. Unfortunately, due to the soaring use of pesticide seed coatings, butter might not be the only thing coating this delicious snack. The extensive use of pesticide seed coatings on popcorn is particularly alarming because of their documented harm to pollinator species, like bees, that are vital to our food supply, agricultural economy, and environment. Want to join us in standing up for bees? Use your purchasing power to support popcorn companies that are doing the right thing for bees and the environment. Our Guide to Bee-Friendly Popcorn can help you get started!
