Change their policy of exterminating feral bees to relocating them.

The Issue

As grocery prices rise in the face of drought and Catastrophic Hive Collapse, more people are turning to vegetable gardening. Bees are needed to pollinate these crops. However, the State's policy, "abatement", is to mindlessly exterminate them. It is possible to save the bees and transport them to a safe location where they present no hazard to the community. Instead, they could thrive as part of our food producing team. Please sign now to Save Our Bees!
