Bees or big business ?

http://www.theguardian.com/environme...neonicotinoids looks like the government have decided to back business against a happy bee population. Rather short sighted at best IMO

Re: Bees or big business ?

This is something close to my heart. Neonics could be responsible for a part of bee decline-but never focus on one topic(not you Julie) when many other factors are involved.

Re: Bees or big business ?

I just saw a photo on fb of bright yellow labels put on fruit and veg etc. in a supermarket with " no bees" on them showing what we would lose if there were none! Practically all of it by the looks!

I've signed a couple of petitions but probably won't do any good..
