Rejected petition Ban the use of pesticides and save the bees!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

It's clear you care about bees and insects. However, we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The Government already supports further restrictions on pesticides called neonicotinoids. You can find out more here:

The EU recently voted for a permanent ban on pesticides that are harmful to bees. You can find out more here:

We're therefore not sure exactly what further action you'd like to see.

You could start a new petition calling for a ban on the use of all pesticides, if that's what you want to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
