Email your MP to back the ban on bee-harming pesticides
Our bees are under threat from toxic pesticides.
The scientific evidence that pesticides - known as neonicotinoids - are dangerous for bees is overwhelming.
But despite this our Government agreed to let some British farmers use them last autumn.
We need to stop this happening again this year.
Please take action today. Email your MP and ask him or her to back the ban on bee-harming pesticides.
Dear [Member of Parliament],
Britain's many bee species are under threat from harmful pesticides and they need your help. The science against pesticides containing dangerous neonicotinoids is now overwhelming. You can find out more about the science in this briefing: https://www.foe.co.uk/sites/default/files/downloads/beesandneonics.pdf
This is an important issue for me and the hundreds of thousands of people throughout the country who have called for the use of bee-harming neonicotinoids to be stopped.

Please support the current EU-wide ban on neonics and call for it to be extended to cover all crops when it is reviewed next year.
As you may know, bees are vital to the UK economy - contributing £651 million a year. It will be a great cost to us if we do not reverse bee decline, for good.
Yours sincerely,
