About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

Bees: as you know, without our wonderful Bees, our entire eco-system would be in terrible trouble! Although there are many factors that have contributed to the issue, it is felt Neonicotinoids, a particularly toxic insecticide, are destroying the Bees. Although not 100% proven, countries such as France, Germany and Italy have banned them and there has now been evidence that since the ban, the Bees are starting to thrive once again. Neonicotinoids are more potent than DDT, which was banned back in the 80s, so why are we still allowing the Agricultural community to use it?
