Rejected petition: Ban beehives in public spaces & require safety signage to prevent attacks.
Rejected on
My daughter and grandson suffered over 150 bee stings each in a public area with no warning signs and had to be airlifted to hospital. I want the UK Government to ban beehives in public spaces and require safety signage when beekeepers are working.
Ban beehives in public‑access areas where people, cannot avoid them.Require clear, visible safety signage whenever beekeepers are working on or inspecting hives.Set national safety standards for hive placement near communities.Introduce enforcement & accountability measures to protect the public.
These changes are needed to prevent further incidents like the one where my daughter & grandson suffered over 150 stings each, were airlifted to hospital, & continue to experience trauma.
