save the bees petiton

14 comments


I just got an email from a friend with a link to a petition calling on the German chemical company Bayer to halt production of a systematic pesticide which has been shown to have a very strong link to the sudden and catastrophic collapse of bee populations.

I sent it to everyone in my email address book, and then thought, how can I spread the word wider? And then I thought of GoY.

Please sign the petition and pass the link to everyone you know who might also sign and also pass it on.

As gardeners we’re more aware than most of what bees do, and what would happen if there were no bees left to do it

thanks! it's not just flowers, of course, or even mainly flowers - the whole food chain could collapse with no bee pollination

I signed it as well & have sent emails. I've even added it to my Facebook page & my website!

Now I'm going to post it on one of the other gardening forums I post on! Already posted it on one of the others I write on as well!

thanks Balcony. I think most people would - once it ws found out what was causing the collapse.

just checked the site: as of 0133 on 2nd May, they need only 37,121 more names to break the million. fingers crossed
