Activists gathered in front of the White House on Wednesday with a petition full of four million signatures demanding President Obama take action to save none other than... bees? 

Protesters, organized by Friends of the Earth, called on Obama and the White House Task Force on Pollinator Health, co-chaired by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to help make the Saving America’s Pollinators Act a legislative reality.

Introduced to Congress by Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.) and Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), the bill would effectively suspend the use of toxic, bee-killing pesticides, specifically neonics, in the U.S.  

MRCTV's Monica Sanchez asked protestors some questions about their cause.
