Bugs, bees and butterflies – and the pesticides that harm them

New evidence shows that the impact of some pesticides on the environment is greater than we thought – putting not just bees but all of our tiny pollinators in danger.

Neonicotinoid pesticides are being linked to the decline of bee populations around the world. An ever-growing number of scientific studies, in both labs and field conditions are showing the threat they pose.

The thought of a summer’s day without the gentle buzzing and colourful fluttering of our hard-working friends is devastating. That’s why Friends of the Earth is demanding that the Government sticks to its promises to protect bees and pollinators, and agrees to a permanent ban on neonicotinoid pesticides .

Join us today and together we’ll help prevent bee decline in the UK.
