Help Europe’s Bees and Wild Pollinators

Red-Tailed Bumblebee by Harry Appleyard, Tattenhoe 11 April 2016

Bees and other pollinators are essential to feeding the population and maintaining a healthy countryside. Declines in bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and other pollinating insects have been occurring across Europe and action is urgently required to address the issues and start to reverse the declines – we want bees, butterflies, moths and hoverflies back everywhere!

The European Commission have started to develop a new ‘Pollinator Initiative’ – this has the potential to change how the Common Agricultural Policy works and to massively improve pesticide regulation, but the Commission and EU politicians need to see how much the citizens care about bees and pollinators so that the ‘Pollinator Initiative’ is given adequate priority and resources.

Please fill in the consultation form and let the EU know we all want our bees back!
