Petition for British Bees
If you read the news, you'll know that bees are in trouble. Bee species are in decline, not just honeybees, but our many species of bumblebee as well. Two species have already become extinct in the UK.
Many agricultural crops have their flowers almost entirely pollinated by bees, such as strawberries and raspberries and sunflowers. Some crops are exclusively pollinated by bees – such as broad beans and tomatoes in glasshouses – bees are worth a lot of money to our economy, quite apart from their essential role in pollinating many wild species.
Please take 30 seconds to sign this petition asking the government to take action to reverse the decline in bee numbers.
