Closed Restrict use of pesticides & create a law protecting bees from neglect & abuse

Closed on

. There are no current laws protecting bees .Pesticides harm us the globe and kill bees as well as other un-harmful natural pollinators.It is easy for Bee keepers to forget to provide nectar in the winter until it is again available in spring.

Varroa Destructor Mite was first discovered in the UK in 1992. It can only reproduce in the sealed brood cells and feeds on the bees blood which kills them. Left untreated it will destroy the whole colony.
It is often said that the biggest killer of bees is the Beekeeper, through neglect, spreading infection and general interference.Pesticides harm us the globe and kill bees as well as other un-harmful natural pollinators.
